Douglas Johnson - A Painter's Odyssey (Hardcover, 1st ed)

Through intricate patterns, rich color, and startling juxtapositions. Douglas Johnson entices the viewer into a world in which dream, myth, and ritual have a power transcending everyday reality. He is a true original, whose magically evocative works defy classification. The artist's inspiration draws its richness from the ancient cultures of North America, Mexico, Peru, Egypt, and Asia. His gem-like miniatures, often depicting pre-Columbian ruins, scenes of early Indian life, and exquisite birds and flowers, have gained wide critical acclaim over the past 30 years, and are represented in numerous private, corporate, and museum collections. Robert Ewing's biography of Johnson discusses the experiences and influences that shaped him as an artist. Viewing 80 full-color reproductions of his paintings, readers will understand why collectors and critics continue to be astonished and captivated by Douglas Johnson's mysterious images.
