 In 1954, after returning to New York, Johns met Robert Rauschenberg and they

became long-term lovers. For a time they lived in the same building as Rachel

Rosenthal.[3][4][5] In the same period he was strongly influenced by the gay

couple Merce Cunningham (a choreographer) and John Cage (a composer).[6][7]

Working together they explored the contemporary art scene, and began

developing their ideas on art. In 1958, gallery owner Leo Castelli discovered

Johns while visiting Rauschenberg's studio.[2] Castelli gave him his first solo

show. It was here that Alfred Barr, the founding director of New York's Museum

of Modern Art, purchased four works from his exhibition.[8] In 1963, Johns and

Cage founded Foundation for Contemporary Performance Arts, now known as

Foundation for Contemporary Arts in New York City.

 Johns currently lives in Sharon, Connecticut and on the Island of Saint

Martin.[9] Until 2012, he lived in a rustic 1930s farmhouse with a glass-walled

studio in Stony Point, New York. He first began visiting St. Martin in the late

1960s and bought the property there in 1972. The architect Philip Johnson is

the principal designer of his home, a long, white, rectangular structure divided

into three distinct sections.[10

Recognition

 Johns was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and

Sciences in 1984.[25] In 1990, he was awarded the National Medal

of Arts.[26] On February 15, 2011 he received the Presidential

Medal of Freedom from President Barack Obama, becoming the

first painter or sculptor to receive a Presidential Medal of

Freedom since Alexander Calder in 1977. In 1990 he was elected

into the National Academy of Design as an Associate member

and became a full Academician in 1994.

1.introduce one of famous paiting - three flags

(picture) - Three Flags, 1958, Jasper Johns

meaning  - first, it is meant as a symbol of patriotism

        - second, you can see in its entirety with various imperfections covering them.

        - 3 Flags was finished in 1958, shortly before a very socially turbulent time in the United States that is not unlike many of the situations we are experiencing today.

2.not only 3 flags, but flag, white flags...etc.

Three Flags is an example of how Johns often used images and techniques from popular mass culture,

things like advertising, comic books, and as Johns once said, “things the mind already knows.”

Like the American flag.  His work seemed partly a reaction to Abstract Expressionism, an art movement of the time whose paintings had no recognizable content all.
