Etching with aquatint on Skikoku Surface Gampi paper - Signed, dated and numbered in pencil // Jasper Johns’ Valentine (2010) is an etching and aquatint created on Skikoku Surface Gampi paper, part of a limited edition of 40 prints. The composition features a central vase-like form created by two mirrored silhouettes, with abstract textures and patterns filling the surrounding spaces. The dark, tonal contrasts of the figures and background evoke a sense of depth and reflection, while the intricate detailing on the silhouettes suggests layers of meaning. The mirrored profiles reference Johns' ongoing interest in perception, duality, and the play between positive and negative space. Signed, dated, and numbered in pencil, this work encapsulates Johns' masterful blend of abstraction and figuration.

What is abstract expressionism?
Abstract Expressionism is an art movement that emerged in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s. Characterized by large, abstract canvases, the movement emphasized spontaneous, expressive brushwork and the use of color and form to convey emotion rather than represent reality. Artists like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning are key figures in this movement. Abstract Expressionism marked a shift in the art world, making New York City a center of the international art scene.
