How does Flag (painting) elucidate its abstract?
Flag is an encaustic painting by the American artist Jasper Johns. It was created in 1954-1955, when Johns was 24, two years after he was discharged from the US Army. This painting was the first of many works that Johns made, as he said, that were inspired by a dream of the U.S. flag in 1954. It is arguably the painting for which Johns is best known. It is held in the Museum of Modern Art, in New York.
