This impression is numbered 41\/50, signed in pencil, and dated by the artist — one of only 50 numbered examples, plus 11 artist's proofs.

A pivotal figure in the transition from Abstract Expressionism to Pop Art and Conceptualism, Johns built his practice around the transformation of familiar signs — flags, targets, numbers, maps — into objects of profound ambiguity and perceptual complexity. In Cicada, Johns deploys his characteristic vocabulary of mark-making, texture, and layered color to evoke both the natural world and the processes of perception itself. The cicada — an insect associated with cycles of emergence, transformation, and renewal — serves as a rich metaphor for the themes of change and memory that run throughout Johns' work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003ePublished in support of the Foundation for Contemporary Performance Arts, an organization Johns co-founded in 1963 alongside John Cage to support experimental artists, this lithograph carries a significant institutional and cultural dimension that deepens its resonance for collectors.
