Lithograph in colors, on wove paper, signed in pencil // 'Ventriloquist' by Jasper Johns, created in 1985, is a lithograph that demonstrates the artist’s fascination with layered imagery and symbols. Measuring 106.7 x 71.1 cm, the composition features a textured background resembling vertical wooden slats, interspersed with familiar objects such as a metal pail, a cup, and a saw, rendered in rich, painterly strokes. Framed by American flag motifs on either side, the work evokes themes of identity, memory, and the juxtaposition of ordinary objects with cultural symbolism. Johns’ meticulous layering and incorporation of tactile textures invite viewers to explore the connections between abstraction and representation.

What is conceptual art?
Sometimes referred to as Conceptualism, this is an art form where the idea(s) or concept(s) behind the work take precedence over material concerns and traditional aesthetics. Many conceptual artworks can be created by anyone simply by following written instructions. The concept or idea is the most essential aspect of the artwork.
