About Between The Clock And The Bed
Created in 1989, "Between The Clock And The Bed" represents a pivotal moment in Jasper Johns' later career, where the artist continued to explore the boundaries between abstraction and representation. This work exemplifies Johns' mastery of visual language, employing a complex interplay of forms and textures that invite contemplation.
The composition features Johns' signature techniques of layering and juxtaposition, creating a dynamic surface that reveals new details upon closer inspection. The title itself suggests a meditation on time and space, themes that recur throughout Johns' oeuvre.
The Artist's Period: Jasper Johns in the Late 1980s
By 1989, Jasper Johns had established himself as one of America's most influential contemporary artists, having pioneered the Neo-Dada movement in the late 1950s. This period marked a continuation of his exploration into semi-abstract compositions that incorporated both personal symbolism and references to everyday objects.
"Between The Clock And The Bed" belongs to a body of work where Johns increasingly focused on the interplay between abstract forms and representational elements, creating visual puzzles that challenge viewer perception.
