“I am alone with this thing, and it is up to me
to evaluate it in the absence of available
standards. The value which I shall put on
this painting tests my personal courage.”

2. Jasper Johns the nature of representation the question of perception
the inquisitive look
rather than the complacent eye

3. I like to repeat an image in another medium to observe
the play between the two: the image and the medium.
In a sense, one does the same thing two ways and can
observe differences and samenesses - the stress the
image takes in different media."
--Jasper Johns, 1979
