This lithograph is immediately identifiable as the work of Lester Johnson (1919-2010) .
The print is titled “Frontal Street Scene.” It was published in 1970 by Collector’s Press. The print is signed in the lower right, titled in the lower center and numbered “Bon a tirer” in the lower left. Here are some details about the print:
Marks: Lower left blindstamp -- mark of Ernest DeSoto, the printer
Lower left blindstamp -- mark of Collector's Press
I am not certain of the size of the edition. It could be as small as 20 plus proofs, based on an image from the Provincetown Art Association, which also owns this print.
The print measures 22 x 30 inches and is on Arches paper. It is in excellent, never framed condition.
About the artist:
Lester Johnson (January 27, 1919 – May 30, 2010) was an American artist. He was a figurative expressionist and member of the Second Generation of the New York School. The subject of much of his work was the human figure.
In New York, Johnson exhibited at the Martha Jackson Gallery, Zabriskie Gallery, Gimpel & Weitzenhoffer, and James Goodman Gallery as well as having been included in group shows at the Guggenheim, The Whitney, Museum of Modern Art, and Metropolitan Museum of Art. He was elected a member to both the American Academy of Arts & Letters and National Academy of Design.
Johnson lived and worked in New York City (on the Bowery), Springs, Milford (CT), Greenwich (CT), and Southampton, NY.
Lester Johnson was born in 1919 in Minneapolis, Minnesota; the youngest of seven and grandchild of Swedish homesteaders. In 1947, after studying at the Minneapolis School of Art, and the St. Paul Art School, he came to New York City. He shared a home with Larry Rivers. He married Josephine Valenti, an art historian, in 1949, and moved into a house on 2nd Ave and 2nd Street – which was shared with Wolf Kahn. After moving uptown, he continued to work downtown. In 1961, he briefly left the city for an artist-in-residence position at Ohio State. After returning, and while sharing a studio with Philip Pearlstein, he was invited by Jack Tworkov to teach at Yale. He accepted and was a professor at Yale from 1964 until 1989.
