This review is from: Jasper Johns: According to What and Watchman (Paperback)

Published for an exhibition of the two paintings at the Gagosian Gallery in NY in 1992, the text, written by Francis M. Naumann, discusses in detail `According to What' and to a lesser degree `Watchman' including possible sources of imagery, structure and possible meanings. Very enjoyable with wonderful photographs especially those taken by Mark Lancaster, his studio assistant, of Johns working on 'According To What'.
