Jasper Johns 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.
