The Seasons [1/2 proof of cut plate "Fall"] 1990

"The Seasons [1/2 proof of cut plate "Fall"]" is a 1990 print by Jasper Johns. The print uses a variety of techniques, including cut plate, to depict a complex composition of geometric shapes, patterned surfaces, and seemingly random objects. Johns is known for his exploration of everyday objects and their potential to evoke deeper meaning and this work is a prime example of his signature style. "The Seasons" series, of which this piece is a part, combines geometric abstraction with figuration, reflecting Johns' ongoing engagement with the nature of art and perception. The use of cut plates and a single color palette creates a unique visual tension, inviting viewers to engage with the interplay of form and content.
