About the Item
“Cicada” is a color lithograph by American abstract expressionist artist, Jasper Johns from 1981. The work is edition 31/58 and signed lower right, "J J ’91” with framed dimensions of 39 1/4 x 30 1/4 x 2 inches.
Jasper Johns' Cicada (1981) is a color lithograph published by Gemini G.E.L. in an edition of 58. The title evokes the insect's cyclical emergence, echoing Johns's interest in recurrence and transformation. Created during his "crosshatch" period (1972–83), the work exemplifies his move from flags and targets toward abstract systems of mark-making. Through layered color and texture, Johns explores the possibilities of lithography as a medium of repetition and variation.
Impressions of Cicada are held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art, underscoring its importance within Johns’s printmaking practice.
