This 1987 lithograph by Jasper Johns, titled *The Seasons (Summer) [11th state]*, depicts a fragmented composition of seemingly unrelated objects, each with its own symbolism. One side features a faint, ghostly figure, perhaps representing a human presence, while the other side showcases a jumbled arrangement of elements like a hanging scale, a portrait of a woman, a woven fabric, a circular shape, and an American flag motif. Johns' signature style of layering and juxtaposing imagery is evident, inviting viewers to interpret the deeper meaning behind these complex associations.
