Jasper Johns (born May 15, 1930 in Augusta, Georgia, United States) is an American contemporary artist who works primarily in painting and printmaking. He is represented by the Matthew Marks GalleryJohns studied at the University of South Carolina from 1947 to 1948, a total of three semesters.
His work is often described as a Neo-Dadaist 新達達主義, as opposed to pop art, even though his subject matter often includes images and objects from popular culture. Still, many compilations on pop art include Jasper Johns as a pop artist because of his artistic use of classical iconography.
瓊斯的版畫和油畫有着很緊密地聯繫。在瓊斯完成一幅油畫以後，經常會出產同樣的版畫。但和常人不同的是，絕大部分藝術家會在繪一幅大型油畫之前作草圖研究，用以決定明暗，顏色以及局部和構圖，瓊斯很少在畫一幅油畫以前做詳盡的研究，相反，在一幅油畫完成以後，他會嘗試對圖像作不同的處理。這些草圖有時候會變成不同的版畫，這就是瓊斯很多版畫雖然有同一圖像但是很多時候不同的版本有細微的差異和修改。
Johns' breakthrough move, which was to inform much later work by others, was to appropriate popular iconography for painting, thus allowing a set of familiar associations to answer the need for subject. [ 瓊斯的突破手法是藝術家本人通過藝術創作，對已定義物件的再定義，從而展示一系列除此件事物本身含義以外所帶來的熟悉的引申含義。通過抽象表現主義抹去事物原有主旨，換句話說，美國國旗和瓊斯所創作的Flag雖然共享統一圖像，但是本質已經完全不同。瓊斯將物件重新創作並賦予作品新的中立含義，所以從藝術的角度，同樣是美國國旗，瓊斯油畫令人神往的精細表面作為一個表面而存在，而並非國旗。]
