Jasper Johns

The Dutch Wives

A complex and layered screenprint by Jasper Johns, *The Dutch Wives* showcases his signature interplay of fragmented imagery, encaustic-like textures, and intersecting patterns rendered in a rich, multihued palette. Printed on delicate Kuratoni Kozo paper, the work reflects Johns' ongoing exploration of perception, memory, and the tension between abstraction and representation. The full margins frame the composition with a quiet openness, allowing the viewer to contemplate the enigmatic visual language that has defined Johns' celebrated career.
