Screenprint in colors on J.B. Green Wove Paper - Printed by Styria Studio, Inc. - Published by Multiples, Inc. - Series: Reality & Paradoxes - Sheet 23 1/8 × 31 3/8in. (58.7 × 79.7 cm) - Plate 17 1/8 × 31 3/8in. (43.5 × 79.7 cm) // Untitled (Skull) by Jasper Johns, produced in 1973, is a striking screen-print from the Reality & Paradoxes series. The artwork features a stark grayscale gradient with a haunting, fragmented skull on the left side, dissolving into the void. The drip effect below the gradient evokes a sense of melting or dissolution, adding to the eerie atmosphere. Johns’ exploration of mortality and identity is evident, with the skull acting as both a memento mori and a symbol of existential uncertainty. The print, made on J.B. Green Wove Paper, showcases his signature minimalist and conceptual style.

What is late modernism?
Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
