Johns studied at the University of South Carolina from 1947 to 1948, a total of three semesters. He then moved to New York City and studied briefly at the Parsons School of Design in 1949. In 1952 and 1953 he was stationed in Sendai, Japan during the Korean War.
Johns currently lives in Sharon, Connecticut and the Island of Saint Martin. He first began visiting St. Martin in the late 1960s and bought the property here in 1972. The architect Philip Johnson is the principal designer of his house, a long, white, rectangular structure divided into three distinct sections.
Personally I think thats the best piece of work he did , its not just because I'm completly in love with USA , but its about the way he made the flag look old and damaged , its not so easy to do it and I think he accepted the challange and it went well.
If I could give him some advice about that piece of work I would probably say to make the flag look like it was waving.
