Winter [1/2 trial proof direct litho] 1989

Jasper Johns's "Winter [1/2 trial proof direct litho]" is a 1989 lithograph that showcases the artist's signature style of abstract imagery and bold lines. The piece, printed in black and white, features a complex composition of overlapping forms, including a prominent silhouette, a patterned surface, and a figure seemingly disappearing into the background. Johns's use of direct lithography allows for the unique texture and grain of the image, reflecting his interest in the materiality of art-making. The print, measuring 53.98 x 37.78 cm, demonstrates Johns's fascination with exploring the relationship between visual representation and the process of creating art.
