Suite: Poems by Wallace Stevens - Original Etching with Aquatint on T. Edmunds Paper - Hand signed in pencil by Jasper Johns // Summer by Jasper Johns, created in 1985, is a limited edition etching and aquatint print from the suite inspired by Poems by Wallace Stevens. This work showcases Johns' mastery in blending abstraction and symbolism, utilizing a monochromatic palette that contrasts textures and shapes. The composition features a ghostly human figure on the left, positioned against a textured brick-like background, while the right side displays a mix of geometric patterns, stars, and a fragmented object reminiscent of a record or wheel. This juxtaposition of imagery and form reflects Johns' interest in exploring the intersection of language, symbols, and visual art. Hand-signed in pencil, this piece is a testament to his intricate and thought-provoking approach to printmaking.

What is Gestural?
Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
