#LouiseLawler’s works have the ability to shift the viewer’s focus of attention. Earlier this year, Lawler took two pictures of Jasper Johns’s iconic painting, ‘Three Flags’ (1958), during the de-installation of his @whitneymuseum retrospective and created five works by cropping these two pictures.
Each cropping of Lawler’s two pictures experiments with framing and movement, their subtitles (“swiped”) subtly evoking our digital era and our use of cellphone cameras.
While the American flag almost vanishes in Lawler’s works, it is worth mentioning that Johns started utilizing the flag in the 1950s “as something the mind already knows.” Therefore, like Johns’s, Lawler’s practice allows us to see what we already know differently.
