| Introduction | Mitchell Johnson is one of the most well known mid-career artists working in California. His color and shape driven paintings have been exhibited alongside of Georgia O’Keefe, Milton Avery, Jane Freilicher, Wolf Kahn, David Park, Wayne Thiebaud, Richard Diebenkorn, Louisa Matthiasdottir and Robert De Niro, Sr. In a 2004 review published in Artnews magazine, the writer Susan Emerling, described Johnson as "a devoted colorist able to extract visual tension from the world around him". Johnson (b. 1964) moved to California from New York City in 1990 to work for the artist, Sam Francis. A full list of articles on Johnson's work is included under the "Bibliography" tab on the website, www.mitchelljohnson.com. Johnson’s work appears regularly in The New York Times Magazine, WSJ. magazine, The New Yorker and Architectural Digest. |
