Two Flags Whitney Anniversary Ulae 207 1980 — Fine Art

Two Flags Whitney Anniversary Ulae 207 1980 shows two flag shapes set on a plain field. Painted bars in red, white and blue run across the surface. The image comes from the pop art period of Jasper Johns. He worked with painted panels and repeated the flag motif many times.

A fine art print sits on the wall at a mid height, where the red and blue bars read clearly. A light frame on a dark wall lets the painted panels stand apart. A dark frame on a pale wall gives the colours more room.

In a dining room, the two flag shapes sit on the far wall near the table. From the doorway you see the bars first, then the plain ground behind them. The red, white and blue stay clear against the room light.
