"Undoubtedly, the most influential magazine advertisements were those produced or supervised by Charles Everett Johnson. A native California born in Gilroy in 1866, Johnson received his formal art education in Paris with Richard Miller, and at the Chicago Art Institute. In 1913, while working as an art director for the Lord and Thomas Advertising Agency, he was put in charge of the Sunkist account. Within a few years, this advertising campaign was a national success. From the 1920s to the 1940's he operated a freelance studio in Los Angeles, where he produced many paintings which first appeared as Sunkist magazine ads and then became label images. Sunny Cove is an example of the style he was known for."
