Art: Engaging Prints by Jasper Johns

By John CANADAY

Although the exhibition that opened Tuesday at the Museum of Modern Art is called "Jasper Johns: Lithographs," it is anything but a line-up of prints. What with modifications in ink, pencil, chalk, paint and collage on working proofs, and variations in paper and color that transform some of the stones from impression to impression, these prints have the variety and intimacy of drawings.
