Hans Namuth, Judith WechslerSummary: A portrait of the artist at work. The film begins in 1972 with Johns repainting Air Ocean World based on Buckminster Fuller’s dymaxion map. Johns work is traced over the next eighteen years. His Untitled, 1973, with its cross-hatching, flagstones, and anatomical parts become recurrent motifs, as Johns begins to imbed skulls and severed arms in them. The paintings become more personal as Johns gradually “drops the reserve” in his recent series, “The Seasons.” The film culminates with Johns working on the final state of the etching based on “The Seasons.”
