Buffie Johnson
The Assault on Space

1964

About the Item

A New York Times review describes Johnson's (1912-2006) work as located at the intersection of spiritualism, myth, symbol, and fairy tales, and influenced by the work of Carl Jung. She herself writes: “From the very beginning, from the first pictures that I painted as a young child, my work has been inspired by the mysterious forces of the natural world. For me, that world has always incorporated both the visible and the invisible realms." Her talent was recognized early. She was included in the 1943 show "31 Women" at Peggy Guggenheims's Art of This Century Museum. This was one of the first exhibitions to exclusively showcase work by female artists. She had her first solo at Betty Parsons Gallery in 1950. Her work is in the collections of major museums, including the Guggenheim, the Whitney, the Brooklyn Museum and the the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
