- James Kalm has been a fan of Jasper Johns since the mid 1960s, and has reported on his exhibitions through his UA-cam channels since 2008 (the links will be posted below). This artist, perhaps more than any other surviving New York painter, is emblematic of the aesthetic shift that took place in the mid 1950s and opened up a whole range of conceptual potentialities that have changed the course of art history.
Along with Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns prefigured Pop Art, and lead generations of artists to think deeper with regard to images, ideology, and how we perceive the world.
With “Recent Paintings & Drawings” we view the latest presentation of work by this American master. Working is various media like oil, encaustic, and acrylic painting, pen and ink, and water color drawing, etching, monotype, and linoleum cuts, the artist reinterprets and extrapolates themes he’s developed over his sixty year career. This program was recorded February 9, 2019. A musical introduction is provided by Von Middleton.

Thanks James. You are very sharp at catching things ... even without commentary.
What a great show! The work is so interesting and looks like it is done in ones prime. Rock on Mr. Johns! Thanks James Kalm!
These are so very different from the only work of his I'd heard of/seen - for me these are far more interesting and better, I would never have guessed these were by the same artist - but my work varies a lot too, many different styles (I've got so much to learn, a beginner)! Thank you for making this and putting it up here.
Thanks for posting. Thank you Jasper Johns.
Wonderfully diverse show - Jasper is one of my favs
Thanks Kate!
Johns's work is definitely a fascinating visual language. Self reference and pop culture and texturs all combined is such amazing ways. Have to say a bit envious you got to be so close to these.
Thank you James. What a cracking show.
All excellent. Thanks, James & Kate!
Jasper , Koons & Hurst - The greats that are alive & Great work James
Thank you Kate
Great show and effort to post, thank you Kate!
Wow! One of the very best vids on your channel James, A big thank you from the left coast.
And so the work continues, Johns is available to what needs to happen, I am available (vulnerable) to not knowing. I experience a truth and I have no questions. I am and the work is. W. Robert Bethard, Orange, CA. October5, 2021.
Thanks James ! Great walk through .
Terrific video ! Thanks so much for taking time . Later work is astonishing .
thanks man....
Here's how I imagine J Johns creates his work. It's more my fantasy than anything else, so I'm not the lest bit concerned if it's totally wrong.
First, JJ writes down a list of all the imagery in his work to date: maps, targets, skulls, colors, etc. Last on that list is an area left blank to allow him to introduce new themes.
He then flips a coin, a la Cage, and if it comes up heads he uses the item on the list, and if tails he does not.
Based on the number of heads he flips, he now has a collection of images he is required to include in his next painting.
And that's it!
really handsome body of work here. introspective + psychological. very generous and exploratory. experimental!
Johns the Artists Artist has succumbed to style - A fusion of Klee & Picasso - how I long for a mannequin leg hanging from a canvas - (I LOVE THIS BODY OF WORK - JOHNS IS “BORN AGAIN” a Hellen Keller cognition) -
thank you kate
Thx!👍
The untitled painting based on the Vietnam photo, refers to the late, great Larry Burrows, British photojournalist. Acrylic that looks like oil, is tough, but he pulls it off.
Jasper Johns approximates GOD. I paint too but I am overwhelmed. Thanks James.
Great show, always been a big fan of John's. Like the way he can even makes acrylic paint look like encaustic. Are all the drawings on mylar? Thanks James
No, not all the drawings are on mylar. Some are on nice heavy rag paper, and many of the little pieces look like they're taken out of a sketchbook...
Really enjoyed. Some of the mostly black paintings didn't read well in a video though.
I like you would like one of the little sketches. I thought that little series of work the most interesting.
(Muted) Turned the sound off again. That’s much better for me. But, thanks for the visual tour.
James I love your videos, but you should be more careful about holding the camera steady when you're looking at a painting and talking about it. You move the camera too quickly and it's dizzying. My opinion, of course, but instead of trying to show as much as possible, it may be more effective to talk about fewer works and let the viewer appreciate the details a little more.
"encoded" perfect.
Marvelous show. My old hero is still going strong. Has always been more interesting than Rauchenberg - more painting quality, distinct and reflected. Often studying a theme.
Merci ..

I never got Jasper John's work. What's wrong with me?
so so, would not have bother if not for his big name
Ludwig Wittgenstein philosophical investigations " Here it is useful to introduce the idea of a picture-object". I may, then, have seen the duck-rabbit simply as a picture-rabbit". "What do you see here". " I see a red circle over there". "Nevertheless someone else could have said to me: he is seeing the figure as a picture-rabbit". Wittgensteins' philosophical message: there is no private language, only language games, or picture games.
Fyi Jasper's 88 years-old now. Prefer the classic targets and less busy work but still very interesting show.
I just got an inkling to invest in some Johns

When you’re constantly moving the camera, it’s difficult to take anything in.
more concentration on the camera work please
No mercy, just fire him!
What an incredibly superficial walk through of an intensely important exhibit.
Would love to see your walkthrough now, Mr. Couchpotato.
Paintings are so dark. Encoded. You mean gay right?
No, the paintings are coded on several levels, political, metaphysical, graphic, art historical as well as sexual...
not terribly impressed vaugly recognizable as Jasper
I didn't like it.
Johns already has his own place in the art history, museums has his highlights so these works were unnecessary
But you did like it
@@eyevix well... yes, but it looks like encyclopedia of his previous methods and techniques
His paintings for years look like they've been done by an alcoholic. Just this sickly and confused look in all of them. The again, I've never been much of a fan.
Okay, I'd be interested in what "alcoholic" paintings would look like. Can you clarify the criteria (those objective qualities) that would distinguish paintings as being made by an "alcoholic"?
Well, he is or was an alcoholic from reports Ive read and I saw a show at MOMA in the 90s and as a former drinking painter I recognized this sick look to the colors, tired looking conception . They were just ugly to me. But like I said, never liked his stuff much anyway.
Fair enough, I'm not a therapist, and I don't have access to John's medical records but, it just strikes me as funny that there are many cases of artists with substance abuse problems being celebrated for their excess ( Georg Baselitz, Robert Raushcenberg, Martin Kippenberger, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Jack Goldstein, Joan Mitchel et. al.) yet as you see it, in John's case, his illness is the issue, not the paintings.
@@jameskalm Please understand that this is from things I've read or heard about in the past with a reaction based on what might be false info. I, of course, have no access to any medical records either
