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."

Jane Wooster Scott (American, b. 1920)
Untitled (Cats), 20th century
Watercolor on paper
Sight size: 10 x 14 in.
Framed: 17 x 20 3/4 in.
Signed lower left: Wooster
In the "Guinness Book of Records" as one of the most reproduced artists in America, Jane Wooster Scott began copying work by folk artists such as Grandma Moses and gradually evolved into her own style. A turning point for her career was a joint showing at the Ankrum Gallery in Los Angeles with her comedian friend, Jonathan Winters. It was mostly a business crowd, and she sold 40 paintings in an hour.
Scott grew up in the Philadelphia area and moved West following her dream to be a movie star. She quickly learned that goal was not for her, but became the host of a talk show where she interviewed movie stars. Then she married and quit that work, becoming a full-time mother.
Currently (2002) she resides in homes in Los Angeles and Sun Valley...
