I guess millions of people and hundreds of museums and thousands of textbooks and endless collectors and countless students are all stupid for enjoying the work of Mr. Johns??? Who was painting flags and encaustic number paintings in the 20's??

Is not about the subject matter, that I am talking about, it is about a style!!!This fucking style is too normal, compared to other artists from Europe, Latinoamerica and Asia!!!Common dude, USA want to say to the world how important, intelligent we can be!!!Thats, why this stupid artists got too much promotion from american millionaire dudes!

Johns style is his subject matter, applying abstract expressionist('40s & '50s) brush strokes to pop iconography ('60s). You didn't answer any of my questions and provided no artists names to back up your ideas. You blame it all on millionaire 'dudes'.(?) Do you think all the students (me included) who sincerely respect mr. johns are 'stupid'?

Back in the 50's Johns along with Rauschenberg created a new face to american modern art.. Europeans werent known for their representational objects in an abstract expressionist/pop work....this work is truly AMERICAN
