What American artist created a famous series of paintings featuring the United States flag?

The American artist who created a famous series of paintings featuring the United States flag was Jasper Johns. He is a painter, sculptor, and printmaker. He became known for his images of the U.S. flag. In his work, he used three American flags. It is one of his more popular pieces of art about the flag.

It was during the 1950’s that Johns painted a series of flag. It was a work that made American’s view the flag in a whole new light. His work was not a flag-waving display of patriotism, but of irony. Johns managed to divest the U.S. flag of much of its symbolic meaning. Instead, he caused viewers to focus on the richly painted surfaces and depth created of his art by stacking three canvases on top of each other.

Since the mid-1950’s, he is also able to paint familiar objects such as maps, number, targets, and other flags. He does this in such a way that raised questions about how painted images differ from the real objects they portray.
