About the Item

NY SCENE is an original hand drawn lithograph by the NY figurative expressionist painter, Lester Johnson. Printed using hand lithography techniques on archival Somerset printmaking paper 100% acid free, full bleed image, no margins. NY SCENE presents an urban group portrait depicting two doll-face women looking in opposite directions and two men positioned above them in the background also looking away, not at each other, all crowded together on a busy city street. The young women with full, wavy auburn hair and red lips are the focal point; one wearing a lively checkered print dress, the other a strand of white pearls. Easily visible on the upper right corner, one male figure sports a navy blue New York YANKEES baseball cap. The color palette of NY SCENE is comprised of warm flesh tones, orange coral, subdued pinks, browns, and touches of muted yellow beige, light purple, blue, red and black. Print size - 29 x 21.5 inches, unframed, excellent condition, pencil signed by Lester Johnson Edition size - 175, plus proofs Year published - 1980 Printer - JK Fine Art Editions Co., NY As a figurative expressionist and member of the Second Generation of the New York School, painter Lester Johnson remained dedicated to the human figure as means of expression through the many stylistic changes of his oeuvre. Johnson exhibited his art at the Martha Jackson Gallery, Zabriskie Gallery, Gimpel & Weitzenhoffer, and James Goodman Gallery in New York as well as having been included in group shows at the Guggenheim, The Whitney, Museum of Modern Art, and Metropolitan Museum of Art. He was elected a member to both the American Academy of Arts & Letters and the National Academy of Design. Johnson lived and worked in New York City (on the Bowery), Springs, Milford (CT), Greenwich (CT), and Southampton, NY.
