Description:
|
|
Jasper Johns’s predominantly gray painting could be classified as an actual map, insofar as it is functionally useful in locating, say, Louisiana or Oregon in relation to one another. But Map is also a painting, the two-dimensionality of the canvas surface corresponding exactly with the flatness of the map it pictures. The question it poses is: how is such a painting to be differentiated from the thing it represents? Map both diagrams the American states and obscures them beneath a sensuous, sometimes splotchy, sometimes dripping application of paint and collaged elements.
