More quotes by Jasper Johns
Merce is my favorite artist in any field.
Jasper Johns
One likes to think that one anticipates changes in the spaces we inhabit, and our ideas about space.
Jasper Johns
The thing is, if you believe in the unconscious - and I do - there's room for all kinds of possibilities that I don't know how you prove one way or another.
Jasper Johns
I tend to like things that already exist.
Jasper Johns
I would tend to say that I do what I do as well as possible and that most people don't.
Jasper Johns
I think a painting should include more experience than simply intended statement.
Jasper Johns
When you work you learn something about what you are doing and you develop habits and procedures out of what you're doing.
Jasper Johns
I have no ideas about what the paintings imply about the world. I don't think that's a painter's business. He just paints paintings without a conscious reason.
Jasper Johns
I assumed that everything would lead to complete failure, but I decided that didn't matter – that would be my life.
Jasper Johns
I'm especially interested in the music of John Cage... I would like to do some experimenting with the relationship between his freeform sound and free-form art.
Jasper Johns
That’s what painting does it organizes vision in a certain way or suggests that certain things be paid attention to and certain other things not be paid attention to. It functions in that way to a certain extent in our civilization.
Jasper Johns
A-not-complete-unit, or a new unit. The elements in the 3 parts should neither fit nor not fit together. One would like not to be led. Avoid the idea of a puzzle which could be solved. Remove the signs of thought. It is not thought which needs showing.
Jasper Johns
To me, self-description is a calamity.
Jasper Johns
A picture ought to be looked at the same way you look at a radiator.
Jasper Johns
I’m interested in things which suggest the world rather than express the personality... The most conventional thing, the most ordinary - it seems to me that those things can be dealt with without having to judge them they seem to me to exist as clear facts, not involving aesthetic hierarchy.
Jasper Johns
Old art offers just as good a criticism of new art as new art offers of old.
Jasper Johns
I decided that if my work contained what I could identify as a likeness to other work, I would remove it.
Jasper Johns
I am just trying to find a way to make pictures.
Jasper Johns
I am not strong on perfection.
Jasper Johns
As one gets older one sees many more paths that could be taken. Artists sense within their own work that kind of swelling of possibilities, which may seem a freedom or a confusion.
