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 Neo-Dada?
Neo-Dada is a minor visual and audio art movement with intents similar to those of Dada artwork. While it revives some of Dada's objectives, Neo-Dada emphasizes the importance of the produced artwork rather than the concept behind it. The movement is considered the foundation of Pop Art, Nouveau Réalisme, and Fluxus. Neo-Dada is known for its use of absurdist contrasts, popular imagery, and modern materials, blending high and low culture in a way that challenges traditional artistic conventions.
