Curator Jeffrey Weiss talks with Charlie Rose about the exhibit "Jasper Johns: An Allegory of Painting 1955-1965" on display at the National Gallery in Washington, D.C.

Curator Jeffrey Weiss talks about the exhibit "Jasper Johns: An Allegory of Painting 1955-1965" on display at the National Gallery in Washington, D.C.
Early works were composed using simple schema such as flags, maps, targets, letters and numbers. Johns' treatment of the surface is often lush and painterly; he is famous for incorporating such media as Encaustic (wax-based paint), and plaster relief in his paintings. Johns played with and presented opposites, contradictions, paradoxes, and ironies, much like Marcel Duchamp (who was associated with the Dada movement). Johns also produces intaglio prints, sculptures and lithographs with similar motifs.
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. Though the Abstract Expressionists disdained subject matter, in the end it could be said that they simply changed subjects. Johns neutralized the subject, so that something like pure paint--painted surface--could declare itself. For twenty years after Johns painted "Flag," the surface--in Andy Warhol's silkscreens or Robert Irwin's illuminated ambiances--could suffice.

discussion about Jasper Johns and his Gray exhibit - Charlie Rose

If the player (above) is not working you can see Video at: http://www.charlierose.com/shows/2008/05/02/2/a-discussion-about-jasper-johns-and-his-gray-exhibit

A discussion about Jasper Johns and his Gray exhibit with Nan
Rosenthal, Senior Consultant in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Department of
Nineteenth-Century, Modern, and Contemporary Art.

Jasper Johns grew up in Allendale, South Carolina, and recounting this period in his life, he says, "In the place where I was a child, there were no artists and there was no art, so I really didn't know what that meant. I think I thought it meant that I would be in a situation different than the one that I was in."
Johns studied at the University of South Carolina from 1947 to 1948, a total of three semesters.[1] He then moved to New York City and studied briefly at Parsons School of Design in 1949.[1] While in New York, Johns met Robert Rauschenberg, with whom he had a relationship,[2] as well as Merce Cunningham and John Cage. Working together they explored the contemporary art scene, and began developing their ideas on art. In 1952 and 1953 he was stationed in Sendai, Japan during the Korean War.[1]
He is best known for his painting Flag (1954-55), which he painted after having a dream of the American flag. His work is often described as a 'Neo-Dadaist', 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.

William Kentridge Video from Museum of Modern Art NYC

William Kentridge is a South African artist born in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1955. He took a Bachelor of Arts in Politics and African Studies at the University of the Witwatersrand and then a diploma in Fine Arts from the Johannesburg Art Foundation. At the beginning of the 1980s, he studied mime and theatre at the L'École Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq in Paris. He had hoped to become an actor, however: "I was fortunate to discover at a theatre school that I was so bad an actor [... that] I was reduced to an artist, and I made my peace with it." Between 1975 and 1991, he was acting and directing in Johannesburg's Junction Avenue Theatre Company. In the 1980s, he worked on television films and series as art director.
Kentridge is perhaps best known for his animated films. These are constructed by filming a drawing, making erasures and changes, and filming it again. He continues this process meticulously, giving each change to the drawing a quarter of a second to two seconds' screen time. A single drawing will be altered and filmed this way until the end of a scene. These drawings are later displayed along with the films as finished pieces of art

Andy Goldsworthy video 2

Artist Andy Goldsworthy places a stone structure he
has created in the sea. It's overrun by water, but he
looks for the deeper connection between the
environment and his art. This video excerpt from
River and Tides

In this clip he builds a sculpture out of driftwood
and watches as the tide takes it out to sea.
This is a good example of his wonderful work with time
