Flag on Orange Field 1957 — Fine Art

A flag stands on a bright orange field in Flag on Orange Field 1957 by Jasper Johns. The painted stars and stripes read against the solid ground. The image stays with the postwar period when painters worked with familiar symbols instead of pure abstraction.

This fine art print sits on a quiet wall at shoulder height. The light frame keeps the orange open so the flag does not feel heavy. You see the painted edges of the stripes when you stand a little closer.

It hangs on a hall wall beside a door where the hallway light falls across it. Late in the day the orange softens and the flag shape holds still.
