Three Flags is a 1958 painting by American artist Jasper Johns. The work comprises three canvases painted with hot wax. The three canvases form a tiered arrangement, with each canvas approximately 25% smaller than the one below, thereby creating a three-dimensional work. Each canvas is painted to resemble the version of the United States flag that was in use at the time the work was painted, with 48 white stars in a blue canton on a field of thirteen alternating red and white stripes.

Each canvas is painted to resemble the version of the United States flag that was in use at the time the work was painted, with 48 white stars in a blue canton on a field of thirteen alternating red and white stripes. Each flag is rendered with the approximately correct colors and proportions, as defined by Title 4 of the United States Code. In a sense, the perspective is reversed, with the smaller paintings projecting out towards the viewer. Only the topmost smallest painting is fully visible; the two behind are only partially visible. The painting was acquired by the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City for $1 million in 1980 from art collectors Burton and Emily Hall Tremaine, to celebrate its 50th anniversary. Since the early 1960s, Three flags has been included in numerous exhibitions, and different kinds of books and magazine articles focused on art and American history. (en)
  • Três Bandeiras é uma pintura de 1958 criada pelo artista Americano Jasper Johns. A obra é composta por três telas pintadas com cera quente. As três telas formam um arranjo em camadas, com cada tela 25% menor que a de trás, criando assim uma arte tridimensional. Cada tela é pintada para se assemelhar à versão da bandeira dos Estados Unidos que era usada na época que a obra foi pintada, com 48 estrelas brancas em um canto azul numa área com treze listas vermelhas e brancas alternadas. Cada bandeira é renderizada com as cores e proporções aproximadamente corretas, de acordo com o Título 4º do Código dos Estados Unidos. De certa forma, a perspectiva é inversa, com pequenas pinturas projetando para quem as vê. Somente a menor pintura é totalmente visível; As duas de trás são apenas parcialmente visíveis. A pintura foi adquirida em 1980 pela Whitney Museum of American Art em Nova York por $1 milhão de dólares, para celebrar seu aniversário de 50 anos. (pt)
