Cicada (ULAE 219) by Jasper Johns: A Masterwork of Neo-Dada Complexity
Experience the rhythmic precision of Jasper Johns’ Cicada (ULAE 219), a definitive example of the artist’s mastery over the crosshatch motif. Originally published by Universal Limited Art Editions (ULAE), this piece represents a pivotal moment in American art history, where Johns transitioned from representational icons to dense, abstract patterns that challenge human perception. This 70x100 cm museum-quality reproduction captures the vibrating energy and layered depth that made the original 1981 print a cornerstone of contemporary printmaking.
Archival Excellence and Curatorial Precision
At RedKalion, we honor the legacy of Jasper Johns by employing the highest standards of production. This Jasper Johns fine art print is rendered on 250 gsm (110 lb) natural white, archival-grade paper. The matte, uncoated finish ensures a non-reflective surface that emphasizes the intricate linework without the glare of standard commercial prints. This acid-free, FSC-certified paper guarantees that your investment will remain vibrant and free from yellowing for decades to come.
Premium Framing and Sustainable Craftsmanship
Every element of this framed art print is designed for longevity and aesthetic impact. The artwork is housed in a robust 20mm (0.79") wide frame, meticulously crafted from responsibly sourced oak and ash wood. This frame is notably more substantial than standard 14mm gallery frames, providing a bold, architectural presence on your wall. Protecting the delicate surface of the print is a high-grade, shatterproof plexiglass, offering museum-level clarity with the durability required for modern interiors.

The title refers to the rhythmic, overlapping crosshatch pattern mimicking the cicada's life cycle. 'ULAE 219' denotes its specific catalog entry from Universal Limited Art Editions.
