About the Item

Daniel Johnston was a prolific visual artist and musician. He gained a cult following in the 1990s when Kurt Cobain wore a T-shirt with the artist’s frog illustration from his Hi, How Are You (1983) album cover to the MTV Video Music Awards. Johnston’s art was inextricably connected to his music, and his pen and marker drawings of superheroes and anthropomorphized animals were critical to his cult appeal among music fans and art aficionados alike. Johnston lived with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, which contributed to his work’s on-and-off categorization as outsider art; his visionary world-building and use of religious symbolism echoed the poems and engravings of William Blake. Johnston’s paintings and drawings have been exhibited in Los Angeles, Zurich, and Berlin, as well as at the 2006 Whitney Biennial in New York. The previous year, he was the subject of the award-winning documentary The Devil and Daniel Johnston. This ink on paper drawing titled "Peace On You" is one of thirty-two unique artworks belonging to Johnston's "Duck Wars," series. The artist's hand-signed signature is visible on the front of the work.

In the Eighties, his formal education overlapped regular visits with Mississippi self-taught artists, including Mary T. Smith, Luster Willis, and Son Ford Thomas. He later immersed himself in art brut collections and European art brut in Switzerland, Germany, and France. His work is also inspired by African-American self-taught outsider art. O'Neal's drawings and paintings have been shown at The Drawing Center, New York; BRIC, Brooklyn; P.S.122, New York; Johnson Museum of Art, Ithaca, NY; Woodruff Arts Center, Atlanta; Tennessee Arts Commission, Nashville; Mississippi Museum of Art, Jackson, MS; Centre d’Art des Pénitents Noirs, Aubagne, France; Contemporary Arts Center, New Orleans; Chicago Cultural Center; Ecomuseu, Valls d'Aneu, Spain; Amory Arts Center, West Palm Beach; Huntsville Museum of Art, AL; Rockefeller Art Center, SUNY Fredonia; ART LA; Field Projects, New York; LOG at Lump Gallery, Raleigh, NC; and Linda Warren Projects, Chicago. His work is in volumes 16, 38, and 104 of New American Paintings.
