Target II
<p>From 1967 to 1969 Johns worked intensively in etching, creating two significant portfolios entitled <em>1st Etchings</em> (1967–68) and <em>1st Etchings, 2nd State</em> (1967–68). The artist returned to his tiny target plate, and using the skills he had acquired the previous two years, he reworked the plate, transforming it into this luminous state.</p>
