Jasper Johns

Flags
1967–1968

A textured artwork depicting an abstract rendition of the American flag, with the stars in a square orange field and the stripes in alternating green and black. The piece is set against a rough, grayish background with a large, white rectangular area at the bottom, showing signs of distress and markings that suggest a layered, mixed-media composition.
