Untitled (Orange Mezzotint) [E trial proof] 1995

This 1995 mezzotint by Jasper Johns, titled "Untitled (Orange Mezzotint) [E trial proof]," exemplifies his signature style of exploring the interplay of form and content. The work features a central motif of an orange square bordered by a patterned frame, suggestive of a window or a picture within a picture. This composition is layered with ambiguous imagery, suggesting a human figure or a landscape. The orange tone and the soft, velvety texture of the mezzotint contribute to the work's intriguing and suggestive nature.
