Em "0 through 9, 1961" do acervo da Tate Gallery, em Londres, os números de 0 a 9 foram sobrepostos, criando uma imagem abstracta sistemática, na qual nenhum dos números é claramente visível. As pinceladas soltas e coloridas de azul claro, vermelho e cor de laranja transmitem uma sensação de nergia. A utilização dos números como tema dos seus quadros inspira-se na obra dos artistas pop, que recorriam à imagens da vida quotidiana e da cultura popular como base para a sua arte. No entanto, a técnica de Johns é mais expressiva e dependente do uso da tinta, revelando a influência dos expressionistas abstractos, tais como Pollock, que na altura se empenhavam em criar telas carregadas de emoção. Ao optar por temas mundanos e objectivos, como os números e as bandeiras e ao aplicar o método rápido de pinceladas amplas e gestuais, Johns tornou-se conhecido como o elo de ligação entre os dois movimentos. Interessou-se acima de tudo pela natureza da pintura, alargando os seus limites através da combinação da colagem com a escultura sobre a superfície pintada. Jasper Johns nasceu em Allendale (EUA) em 1930.
