Long thoughtful lion-in-winter profile of Jasper Johns, by Calvin Tompkins in this week's New Yorker:

"'Part of working, for me,' [Johns] went on, 'involves anxiety. A certain amount of anxiety, or hesitation, or boredom. Frequently, I think for a long time before I do something, even though I've decided over the years that this is absolutely pointless. Actually, when one works, one comes to a solution much more quickly than when one sits and thinks. But I can't avoid it. I just sit and wonder.'"
