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 pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
