False Start 1959

The painting False Start 1959 uses thick paint to lay down words and colour patches over a plain field. Jasper Johns painted the letters and the hues in close layers that catch the light at different heights. The work feels built from repeated marks on a flat ground.

This fine art print arrives ready to hang with a metal hanger on the back that slides onto a nail or screw. No separate frame is needed. The paper carries the paint steps without extra shine.

In a study above a desk, the painted letters hold your eye first. From the doorway you see the colour blocks, near the desk you read the painted words and the layered edges.

Information

Frequently asked

Yes — this Fine Art piece comes framed and arrives ready to hang. It is printed with our 12-color fine art technology on smooth matte paper (200 gsm), protected by shatterproof plexiglass, and set in a durable pine wood frame. A hanging kit is included, so you can put it straight on the wall.

Our 12-color fine art printing technology delivers vivid, accurate colors with real depth, far beyond standard 4-color inkjet printing. The print is on smooth matte paper (200 gsm, 0.26 mm thick) that gives a clean, glare-free display, and it sits behind shatterproof plexiglass in a durable pine wood frame (20 mm thick, 10 to 14 mm wide). The paper and wood are FSC-certified. Every piece is printed and shipped on demand, so there is no minimum order and every order is fresh.

As a guide: 40×50 cm suits a desk or small wall, 50×70 cm sits well above a sofa or bed, and 70×100 cm anchors a room as a focal piece. If you'd like advice for your space, send us your dimensions and we'll recommend a size.
