Jennifer T. Roberts duikt in de antidemocratische traditie binnen het westerse denken en onderzoekt de historische stromingen ervan aan de hand van klassieke teksten. Haar werk onderzoekt nauwgezet hoe democratische idealen door de eeuwen van intellectuele geschiedenis heen zijn betwist en geherinterpreteerd. Roberts biedt diepgaande inzichten in de fundamentele ideeën die de politieke filosofie hebben gevormd. Haar wetenschappelijke benadering is geworteld in een diepe betrokkenheid bij baanbrekende oude auteurs en hun blijvende impact.

Centering on The Dutch Wives , a double-panel encaustic-and-newsprint painting in the artist’s signature “crosshatch” motif, this catalogue explores the impact of print on the work of Jasper Johns. The two panels are imperfect duplicates of each other, thus evoking issues of replication that are native to reproductive media. The book examines “print” and “the press” in terms not only of printmaking and Johns’s celebrated experiments in that medium, but also in informational terms, tracing Johns’s frequent use of newsprint and its material, temporal, political, and formal implications. The publication also features prints and drawings by Johns that help demonstrate the aspects of printmaking that inform his entire oeuvre: repetition, reversal, indexicality, layering, sequencing, and topology.
