Marc Brickman Jasper Johns Inspired Three Flags Canvas Art Print – American Flag Abstract Wall Art

The Flag, Reimagined in Light

Jasper Johns painted the American flag not as a symbol of patriotism, but as an object of pure visual inquiry — something so familiar it had become invisible, until he made you see it again. Marc Brickman's Three Flags Abstract Canvas Art Print continues that tradition of defamiliarization, projecting Johns' layered, encaustic vision onto the Empire State Building's towering facade in a blaze of color and light.

This is the second of two Jasper Johns-inspired prints in the ESB x Whitney Collaboration, and it approaches the Three Flags motif from a distinctly abstract angle — less representational, more atmospheric, more concerned with the emotional resonance of the flag's geometry than its literal form. Captured on May 1, 2015, the night Brickman illuminated the ESB to celebrate the Whitney Museum of American Art's grand opening, this 19"×28" print is a meditation on repetition, scale, and the strange power of the familiar made strange.

Two Flags, One Vision

Where the companion Three Flags print leans into Johns' graphic clarity, this version embraces abstraction — the flag dissolving into light, the stripes becoming rhythm, the stars becoming constellations of color. It's a piece that rewards long looking, revealing new details and new meanings the longer you spend with it.

For collectors, art lovers, and anyone who believes that the most powerful art is the kind that changes every time you look at it.
