Today was an important day for the visual arts in America. Props to Jasper Johns for being the first studio artist in 34 years to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Double props to Obama; for being the third president, along with JFK and Gerald Ford, to give the award to a painter or sculptor, and for awarding it to Jasper Johns.
Watch the ceremony from earlier today on the White House website.
