Jasper Johns grew up in South Carolina. At various times in his early life he lived in Allendale, Columbia and Lake Murray. He graduated from Edmunds High School in Sumter and attended The University of South Carolina for a while before heading off to New York.
Several of his works, like the untitled one above, are in the collection of the Greenville County Museum of Art. Here are a few others.
Other Carolina artists whose works are in the GCMA collection.
The Orangeburg Massacre was the 1968 shooting of students at State College of South Carolina in Orangeburg who were protesting racial discrimination. They were fired upon by the South Carolina Highway Patrol. Three students were killed.
The Greenville Museum also housed an exhibit by Washington, N.C.-based artist Rob Roy.
