Yeah, and so are a number of artists from the era, but I've never considered Johns to be Great in the same way that I think of Rauschenberg, Warhol, Francis Bacon and Barnett Newman, all of whom are now dead, and Richter who is still alive. These for me are the five major painters of the post-war era. Just an opinion of course. Certainly not something I could possibly prove.
EDIT: I might add Rothko to that list, but he's dead too, so the point still stands.
