Carol Johnson was a celebrated illustrator whose career spanned more than 35 years. He was a lead illustrator for the New York advertising agency Ogilvy and Mather and created cover images for numerous magazines, including Boys’ Life, Colliers and American Weekly. Johnson passed away in 2003 at the age of 86.
As a World War II correspondent, Johnson helped translate the immediate experience of war into raw observational sketches for nationally syndicated newspapers, conveying a first hand experience of the war into the households of thousands of Americans. A selection of his drawings were published in Ernie Pyle’s canonical book on the Second World War, "Here is your War."

Reader, oversize drawing of young woman reading, minimal color
By Audrey Anastasi
Located in Brooklyn, NY
