Thick As Handsome Thieves

This is Jasper Johns as photographed by Robert Rauschenberg in 1958 when they were thick as young handsome thieves. The early Target painting is just behind. The Johns show is vast at the Whitney and the idea that there is much more at the Philadelphia museum is daunting. He has been prolific, cycled through many investigations of paint and subject - to call them styles would be reductive. It’s impressive and gave me a very expanded view of his career.
