Green Target — Fine Art

A Green Target by Jasper Johns uses rings and a small cross shape on a ground of green paint. Painted and printed marks sit side by side, with thick bands and a few thin lines. The picture stays with you a short distance away, while the edges show the handwork.

This fine art print is ready to hang on arrival. The print sits on the wall with the light coming from one side, so the bands read clearly. A light wood frame can sit beside a desk or near wooden furniture, and a dark frame works on a pale wall.

It fits a quiet hallway near the stairs, where you pass it most days. You notice the rings first, then the small cross at the centre, as you move past the coat hooks.
