Consumer culture, which started to feel its presence by the influence of the developing economy after World War II, uses popular culture images and everyday objects as the subject of the painting. Jasper Johns is one of the most important artists of the period who did not completely abandon the traditional painting materials and techniques, but added plaster relief, numbers and letters, lithography, popular cultural objects and images to the painting.Grown up in the United States and being a contemporary painter with a reputation for Pop Art and Neo-dada, he is also prominent in his experimental work, which strengthens the connection between popular image use and sculpturepainting. One of the best known works of John, who put his signature under many important works, is “Flag”. What is important in this work on American flags is that reality does not turn into a precedent as an object but it separates from reality by acquiring a pictorial meaning.
