Synopsis
Jasper Johns is an artist for whom the relationship between language and art has always been of critical importance. In this book, produced as a companion volume to the exhibition catalogue at the Museum of Modern Art, Johns himself provides an illumination of his own work. He describes his relationships with other artists and analyzes the inherently problematic aspects of artistic representation and interpretation.
