The Seasons (Summer) [8th state (partial)] 1987

Jasper Johns' "The Seasons (Summer)" is a complex and layered print, part of a series exploring themes of time and change. The print, executed in 1987, presents a partially obscured human figure standing in a doorway. This partial figure evokes a sense of mystery and invites contemplation, while the brick wall suggests a sense of grounding and permanence. Johns' signature use of fragmented and blurred imagery is evident in the print's overall composition, creating a sense of visual ambiguity that challenges the viewer's perception.
