Jasper Johns once joked that, of the dozens of books that have been written about his art, his favorite one was written in Japanese. What he liked is that he couldn’t understand it. Johns, who’s now 87 and widely regarded as America’s foremost living artist, is famously elusive. He has no shortage of devoted friends, but they — much like his viewers — can be kept on edge by his remove. Nearly everyone agrees that certain topics reliably engage him, such as gardening and cooking, but that attempts to discuss the meaning of his work with him will bring on instantaneous silence. “Jasper Johns: Something Resembling Truth,” a new retrospective at @thebroadmuseum, offers a relatively intimate glimpse at his work. In a welcome departure from curatorial convention, the exhibition is organized thematically rather than chronologically. Asked if he plans to travel to L.A. to see it, the artist replied solemnly, “I am not going anywhere.” His friends say that he prefers to wake up in his own bed in Sharon, Connecticut, amid the familiarity of his rambling country estate. On most days, he can be found in his studio, tailed by his dog Dougal, a wiry mutt who might have some Greyhound in him. @andrewwhitey photographed #JasperJohns with Dougal.
