Styles

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 abstract expressionism?
Artwork by Helen Frankenthaler

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.
