“… the flag seems special. He returns to it again and again as a musician returns to a favourite theme or set of chords, a poet to a particular metre, or as Rembrandt did to his own ageing physiognomy.” – Anne Seymour (Anne Seymour, Exh. Cat., London, Anthony D’Offay Gallery, Jasper Johns Flags 1955 - 1994, 1996, pp. 5-6)
