We are thrilled to present the Jasper Johns "Target with Plaster Casts" Universal Limited Art Editions 208 fine art poster, a statement piece measuring 75x100 cm (30x40 inches) that promises to be a focal point in any interior design scheme. Jasper Johns stands as one of the most influential American artists of the 20th century, a pivotal figure bridging Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art. His groundbreaking work challenged conventional notions of art, representation, and the very act of looking. "Target with Plaster Casts," created in 1955, is arguably one of his most celebrated and thought-provoking early works, a cornerstone of his career that continues to captivate art enthusiasts and scholars alike. This stunning fine art poster allows you to own a significant slice of art history, bringing the essence of this revolutionary artwork directly into your home or office. At first glance, "Target with Plaster Casts" presents a seemingly straightforward image: a target. Yet, Johns elevates this everyday symbol into a complex visual and intellectual puzzle. The target, rendered in concentric circles of blue, yellow, and red, commands the lower two-thirds of the canvas. Above it, a row of nine wooden boxes, each containing a plaster cast of a different body part – an ear, a nose, a hand, a foot, a penis – are hinged, allowing them to be opened and closed, revealing or concealing their contents. The muted, almost somber color palette of the target contrasts sharply with the stark white of the plaster casts, creating a visual tension that is both unsettling and compelling. Johns masterfully used encaustic, an ancient painting technique involving pigment mixed with hot wax, in the original, giving the surface a rich, tactile, and almost sculptural quality. While a poster cannot replicate the texture of encaustic, a high-fidelity fine art print beautifully captures the nuances of color and form, preserving the integrity of the original artwork's visual impact. The brilliance of "Target with Plaster Casts" lies in its ambiguity and its challenge to perception. Is it a painting of a target, or is it simply a target? Johns played with "things the mind already knows," forcing viewers to confront the distinction between an image and the object it represents. The inclusion of the plaster casts of body parts introduces a jarring, almost clinical element, fragmenting the human form and presenting it as a collection of objects. This juxtaposition invites a myriad of interpretations: themes of identity, vulnerability, the gaze, and the very process of artistic creation are all at play. The "Universal Limited Art Editions 208" designation indicates its origin within a prestigious art publishing house renowned for producing high-quality editions of modern masters, lending an additional layer of authenticity and collectible value to this fine art poster.
