Adam Gopnik : Jasper Johns sees it close up; he sees what it's like to be in New York, the heart, the pulsing heart of this consumer culture. He sees what it's really all about as kind of second hand things. It's all this stuff that sort of swims along in the sewer, the flotsam and jetsam of consumer culture it what he makes his subject.

Adam Gopnik : Caricature died so that modern art could live. All of the kind of grotesque indulgences that were previously permissible only in caricature, now became part of the common language of modern art and by breaking down that separation to what was permissible in humorous caricature and what was permissible in great art, Picasso remade the language of the modern portrait.
