Shepard Fairey - OBEY - Jasper Johns, by junta on Dec 10, 2009 4:24:42 GMT 1, snausages, to say I'm acting like the world has to hand me everything worth knowing about is a bit harsh IMO. You and pez both make the point that I should go read a book. But look at what I actually wrote, the first thing I did when I saw that print was go and read about Jasper Johns before posting on here. I won't apologise for never having been exposed to his work before now, I wasn't going to learn about it by bloody osmosis!
As skanky says, part of the point is surely to bring him to a new audience, and thats whats happened with me. Still not mad about his work but thats purely my taste (or lack thereof!).

Shepard Fairey - OBEY - Jasper Johns, by junta on Dec 10, 2009 5:01:02 GMT 1, Not trying to be harsh at all, I don't care if you knew about him or not, it's just that to say quote "there's not much to be done about" [not knowing of Jasper Johns] seemed a rather silly statement.
But I was talking past tense!? What could be done about it? I don't have the ability to turn back time! Your point seemed to be that I should go and read a book, I'm just indignant because that's exactly what I went and did (well... wikipedia and an image search...).

Absolutely, if and when it comes across your scope of interest is all I'm saying.
You said you don't care, but you clearly care enough to pass comment, sorry I defended myself.
and for what it's worth, I did see that episode of the Simpsons, probobly when it first aired about 10 years ago. You'll have to forgive me if at 11 years of age I didn't register who Jasper Johns was, even if I could have been capable of absorbing every piece of information that flitted accross my tv screen.

I don't care "what you know and don't know," I did not criticize you for not knowing about Johns. What I did care about and questioned was the idea that you aren't responsible for what you know. If all that you meant is that you can't do anything about the past, then I apologize for the misunderstanding but the wording was confusing.
And the bit about the simpsons was a joke, and an excuse to post that clip, obviously nobody can remember everything on tv
