About the Item
NY STREET SCENE is an original hand drawn lithograph by the NY figurative expressionist painter, Lester Johnson. Printed in black ink using hand lithography techniques on archival paper 100% acid free, full bleed image, no margins. NY Street Scene depicts a expressionist crowd portrait of doll-like figures, their faces looking upwards and sideways - not at each other, drawn in expressive watercolor-marker lines. Both male and female figures stand crowded together; their hair textures, round eyeglass frames, derby hats, and bent arm positions create a dynamic 1980's New York City scene.
Print size - 29.75 x 22 inches unframed, excellent condition
Year published - 1979
This is a unique Printers Proof aside from the color edition of 175, from the master printers private collection.
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.
