Target with Four Faces, 1955, now in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art, and Target, 1961, which is now in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, were both painted in encaustic, an ancient tradition requiring heating wax, brushing it on evenly as one would frost a cake. Target is among images that first brought Jasper Johns fame, endlessly reproduced in the half century since he painted them. Jasper Johns worked closely with Aldo Crommelynck on this print, whose virtuosic command of traditional techniques coaxed the best out of European artists including Picasso, Braque and Matisse, and later helped younger American artists like Jim Dine and Jasper Johns.
