Jasper Johns: Die Graphik
This vintage poster featuring Painting with Two Balls (1971) was produced in 1971, in conjunction with Jasper Johns: Die Graphik at Kunsthalle Bern, Switzerland. In the original screen print, Johns reinterprets his own encaustic and mixed-media painting of 1960 by transforming the wooden spheres inserted between two of its three abutted canvases into graphic representations and distilling its allover composition into three expressionistic fields of primary colors. The poster’s informational text echoes the appearance of the stenciled typography often used by the artist in his distinctive paintings, prints, and drawings of targets, maps, and flags.
