The artist I chose was Jasper Johns, a painter and sculptor. He is considered a pop artist because he often used imagery and objects from popular culture and he had a classical use of iconography, which is the visual images and symbols used in a work of art or the study or interpretations of this art. He transformed the appearance of these images. Johns was considered to have laid the foundation for the Pop Art movements aesthetic embrace of culture. Jasper Johns most well known painting is Three Flags which he painted after having a dream about the American flag. Another one of his paintings is Target.
