Jasper Johns at the National Gallery of Art

Jasper Johns: An Allegory of Painting, 1955–1965 is another great example of a well-done online exhibit which accompanies a 'live' exhibition and which has been well-maintained since I first saw it in 2007. The 'Exhibition Feature' is an essay which describes the four 'motifs' which Johns used. I am not as enthused now as I was when I first saw the 'zoomed' images in this ten-page essay but some of then are so well done that you can see the depth of the paint; it's just too bad that there is only one level of zooming. The essay page, or any of the other linked pages, doesn't seem to have a link back to the home page noted above.

The links lead to images of Johns' works, or information about related material, although one at least, "States and Variations", goes nowhere useful. The Gemini G.E.L. Online Catalogue Raisonné works are especially well organized, although the link given no longer leads to Johns. It's easy to find his name in the search, though, and an added advantage is that the artist search is a dropdown list so that you can also look at work by other artists.

The page for the New York Times review is still available and has a good, if short, slideshow.

In 2012, PBS has put up Art21 videos for past seasons, from 2001 up to the current episode. Complete episodes are available (although they weren't loading correctly earlier), or you can watch separate sections.
