Target is among images that first brought Jasper Johns fame, endlessly reproduced in the half century since he painted them. Jasper Johns worked closely with Aldo Crommelynck on this print, whose virtuosic command of traditional techniques coaxed the best out of European artists including Picasso, Braque and Matisse, and later helped younger American artists like Jim Dine and Jasper Johns. Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los AngelesĪ master printmaker since 1960, Jasper Johns Target with Four Faces, 1979 color etching, soft ground, aquatint is one of the Artist's most iconic images without question, considered an important example from his Target series.
