Jennifer T. Roberts beschäftigt sich mit der antidemokratischen Tradition im westlichen Denken und erforscht ihre historischen Strömungen anhand klassischer Texte. Ihre Arbeit untersucht akribisch, wie demokratische Ideale über Jahrhunderte der Geistesgeschichte hinweg hinterfragt und neu interpretiert wurden. Roberts bietet tiefe Einblicke in die grundlegenden Ideen, die die politische Philosophie geprägt haben. Ihr wissenschaftlicher Ansatz wurzelt in einer tiefen Auseinandersetzung mit bedeutenden antiken Autoren und deren bleibendem Einfluss.

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. Exhibition schedule: Harvard Art Museums, Cambridge, Massachusetts, opening May 2012
