Pop Art can be confusing. But not the Jasper Johns masterpiece White Flag. It’s a rare case of what you see is what you get. Checking out this painting in person feels significant because of its enormity. The Metropolitan Museum of Art showcases it well. Thanks to the white wall behind this piece, viewers can’t help but notice it’s not a true white flag. There’s no surrender to this piece. At more than six feet by ten, viewers can’t help but take in its size or materials. Simple and spare as it seems – White Flag gives us a lot.
