Lester Johnson (American, 1919-2010)
Lester Johnson was an American artist and educator. He was a member of the Second Generation of the New York School during the late 1950s. The subject of much of his work is the human figure. His style is considered by critics and art historians to be in the figurative expressionist mode. Johnson was an abstract painter until 1954, when he started to capture the essence of the city. He painted the quick tempo of those who lived out impersonal careers amid skyscrapers and never looked up, the slouched gait of the inured urbanite, and aggressively beautiful women. These characteristics abound in both the subject matter and the formal properties of his work.
