Jasper Johns' Three Flags photographed at the Whitney seems an appropriate post for this Fourth of July, with its shrinking US flags an apt metaphor as equality for all and inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are taken by a Supreme Court and Republican Party working to end democracy and freedom for all. As with England 247 years ago, they must be defeated for America to achieve the promises stated in the Declaration of Independence.

"Three Flags" 1958 encaustic on canvas by Jasper Johns (b. 1930) at @whitneymuseum the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. Written near the painting: In 1954, Jasper Johns began painting what would become one of his signature emblems: the American flag. Johns realized that the flag—as an iconic image comparable to the targets, maps, and letters that he also depicted—was generally "seen and not looked at, not examined." The execution and composition of "Three Flags" encourages close inspection. Johns painted it using encaustic, a mixture of pigment suspended in warm wax that congeals as each stroke is applied; the discrete marks that result create a sensuous, almost sculptural surface. The work's structure adds to its complexity. The trio of flags, each successively diminishing in scale by about twenty-five percent, projects outward—contradicting classical perspective, in which objects appear to recede from the viewer's vantage point. Through shifting emphasis from the flag's symbolic meaning to the patterns, textures, and structure of the composition, Johns explored the boundary between abstraction and representation. #encaustic #encausticoncanvas #flags #threeflags #johns #jasperjohns #dailyritual #jasperjohnsweek #usflag (at Whitney Museum of American Art)
