'''Jasper Johns''' is an icon of American Art.
'''Jasper Johns''' (born in 1930 at Augusta, Georgia) is an icon of American Art.
Born and raised in Allendale, [[South Carolina]], Jasper Johns grew up wanting to be an artist. "In the place where I was a child, there were no artists and there was no art, so I really didn't know what that meant," recounts Johns. "I think I thought it meant that I would be in a situation different from the one that I was in." He studied briefly at the University of South Carolina before moving to New York in the early fifties.
