Quotes by Jasper Johns
Take an object. Do something to it. Do something else to it.
— Jasper Johns
As one gets older one sees many more paths that could be taken. Artists sense within their own work that kind of swelling of possibilities, which may seem a freedom or a confusion.
— Jasper Johns
I’m not sure what ‘coming out right’ means. It often means that what you do holds a kind of energy that you wouldn’t just put there, that comes about through grace of some sort.
— Jasper Johns
Do something, do something to that, and then do something to that.
— Jasper Johns
One wants one’s work to be the world, but of course it’s never the world. The work is in the world; it never contains the whole thing.
