"The Barber's Tree", Jasper Johns, 1976, oil on canvas and wax
|
Apart from orange and bluish green, red and white are the mostly used colors in this piece.
The idea of painting first struck Johns when he saw a photograph in a magazine, which portrayed a Mexican barber paint stripes onto a tree in front of his shop, making it into the shop's logo.
Johns, together with Robert Rauschenberg, pioneered the Pop Art movement.[Photo provided to chinadaily.com.cn]
