This is Jasper Johns, Diver. He painted it in 1962. It is made with charcoal, pastel, and water color on paper mounted on two canvas panels.

It is obviously a very dark and gloomy painting. At the top you can see two foot print impressions as well four hand prints. Two at the sides and if you follow the arched arrows they lead to two at the bottom. The arrows show the fluid motion one makes when doing a swan dive. With a closer look, the two hand prints at the bottom also form a skull.

It has been said that this piece was made to resemble the last act of poet Hart Cranes life as he jumped to his death off a ship in 1932.

Personally I like this painting because when you are actually standing in front of it, you can see the violent motions of the body, and it almost looks like the hands are trying to reach through the painting to get your attention. Very spine tingling.
