Description:
|
This work is part of the Broad's permanent collection. Like all of Johns' works featuring common signs and symbols; flags, targets, numbers, letters, maps, the flag works not only challenged the premises of abstract expressionism, but also questioned the medium of painting itself. His flags weren’t meant to be emotional or political statements as much as purely visual ones, the familiar image suddenly unfamiliar in its new context. The depiction on canvas is, simply, a painterly gesture, both the picture of a flag and an object unto itself. (Source: Los Angeles Times [online edition]; http://www.latimes.c om/)
