Jasper Johns, Three Flags
While looking at a Jasper Johns piece, an elderly woman approached me and asked about the piece. She asked me what encaustic was, since it was listed as one of the materials. The work of Jasper John is known to utilize encaustic, the use of pigments and hot wax. I didn’t know the term myself, so i looked it up on my phone and told her the definition. She then proceeded to ask me how I looked up the definition on my phone and to show her how to on her phone. We greeted each other each time we ran into each other on another floor. The Whitney was fun.
