JASPER JOHNS, RARE LITHOGRAPH, WHITNEY MUSEUM OF ART 1977EXHIBITION LITOGRAPH POSTER, 18 OCTOBER 1977 - 22 JANUARY 1978DIMENSIONS: 30in x 45.5in (75.5 x 115.5CM).Jasper Johns was born in 1930 in Augusta, Georgia, and raised in South Carolina. He began drawing as a young child, and from the age of five knew he wanted to be an artist. For three semesters he attended the University of South Carolina at Columbia, where his art teachers urged him to move to New York, which he did in late 1948. There he saw numerous exhibitions and attended the Parsons School of Design for a semester. After serving two years in the army during the Korean War, stationed in South Carolina and Sendai, Japan, he returned to New York in 1953. He soon became friends with the artist Robert Rauschenberg (born 1925), also a Southerner, and with the composer John Cage and the choreographer Merce Cunningham.
