Jasper Johns at his Studio, viewing the Max Ernst book by Edward Quinn. New York 1982.

In his New York studio in 1982, Jasper Johns sits at a large table, his attention focused on an open copy of Edward Quinn’s book on Max Ernst. His right hand is caught in a motion blur as he turns a page. In the background, four large canvases wrapped in reflective plastic lean against the wall, their dense, geometric patterns of crisscrossing lines visible through the crinkled covering. A glass of water and a folded newspaper rest on the table beside him.
