Three Rainbow American Flags for Jasper in the Style of the Artist’s Boyfriend by Jonathan Horowitz critically examines sexuality and queerness by recreating the iconic Three Flags piece by Jasper Johns as an American flag invaded by the colors of the LGBTQIA+ flag. Color is employed as a signifier for the queer, and to radically question the value systems of contemporary society that still require that the “other” be marked as such.
