Jasper Johns - Flag 1954-55

This painting has been used by many as an icon of American patriotism.  What is interesting to me is the underlying layer of the painting that comprise bits and pieces of newspaper columns ...and in a way encapsulating the moment in time when the Artist created this piece. You can see these pieces when you zoom in on the picture.
