Elevate Your Correspondence with Jasper Johns' Bent Blue (1971)
Incorporate the intellectual rigor of American master Jasper Johns into your daily exchanges with this exquisite set of ten fine art postcards. Bent Blue (1971) represents a pivotal moment in Johns' career, where he began to move away from the literal iconography of flags and targets toward more complex, conceptual abstractions. This piece captures the artist's fascination with the 'bent' perspective—a manipulation of space and form that challenges the viewer's perception of the two-dimensional plane.
Museum-Quality Reproductions for the Discerning Collector
At RedKalion, we believe that even a postcard should be an archival masterpiece. These museum-quality reproductions are rendered using our advanced 12-color fine art printing technology. Unlike standard 4-color commercial prints, our process captures the subtle gradations of blue and the intentional texture of Johns' brushwork with breathtaking accuracy and depth. Each card is printed on premium 200 gsm (80 lb) FSC-certified paper, ensuring a substantial feel and long-term durability.

What makes Jasper Johns' 'Bent Blue' significant in art history?
Created in 1971, 'Bent Blue' showcases Johns' transition toward abstraction and his investigation of how objects occupy space. It reflects his move from Pop Art toward a more philosophical exploration of perception and the structural elements of painting.
What is the benefit of 12-color fine art printing?
Our 12-color process uses a wider gamut of pigments than standard 4-color printing. This ensures that the specific, nuanced shades of blue in Jasper Johns' work are reproduced with museum-level accuracy and vibrant depth.
What are the physical specifications of these postcards?
Each card is printed on 200 gsm (80 lb) paper with a thickness of 0.26 mm. The smooth matte finish provides a clean, sophisticated look while being durable enough for mailing or framing.
Is the paper used for these prints environmentally sustainable?

How long will these postcards last without fading?
By using archival-grade paper and high-quality pigment inks, these postcards are designed for longevity. The matte finish and acid-free paper prevent yellowing and protect against UV degradation over time.
Can these A6 postcards be framed as mini-prints?
Absolutely. The 4.1 x 5.8 inch dimensions are standard for A6 frames. Their high-fidelity color and heavy paper weight make them ideal for creating a gallery wall of Jasper Johns' iconic works.
What does 'Bent' signify in the context of this 1971 work?
In this era, Johns often utilized the 'hinge' or 'bend' to suggest movement and the physical manipulation of the canvas. It serves as a visual metaphor for the folding of time and perspective.
