    *Original* Art Anderson Johnson 1994 Woman Portrait Acrylic on Cardboard Painting A.

    Est: -

    Item Description Title: "Mystique of the Commonplace: Portrait of a Brunette" by Anderson Johnson, 1994 Description: This captivating acrylic on cardboard painting, measuring 25x16 inches, is a rare and original artwork by the celebrated Outsider Artist, Anderson Johnson (1915-1998). Created in 1994, this piece stands out as an exceptional example of Johnson's work, particularly given that pieces exceeding 12 inches square are a rarity in his oeuvre. The painting depicts a brunette woman, dressed in an unassuming yet elegant dress that speaks volumes of Johnson's ability to find beauty and depth in the everyday. The woman's gaze is both inviting and introspective, offering a window into the soul of the common man and woman that Johnson so passionately championed throughout his life. Emerging from the personal collection of a distinguished professor from Arizona State University, this artwork carries with it a legacy of appreciation and advocacy for Folk and Outsider Art. The professor, an esteemed figure in the art world and a fervent supporter of artists like Johnson, has contributed significantly to the recognition and understanding of this genre. His dedication to educating others about the value and unique perspective of Folk and Outsider Art has made this piece even more poignant and cherished. Anderson Johnson's journey from the son of a Virginia sharecropper to a revered figure in the art world is a testament to his unwavering faith in Jesus and the transformative power of God. After a life-altering accident, Johnson transformed his home into "Faith Mission," a sanctuary adorned with his artworks, predominantly featuring women's faces. This portrait is a testament to Johnson's profound connection to the divine and his exceptional ability to capture the essence of human experience through his art. Now in storage, awaiting a new home at the gallery dedicated to Johnson's work at the College of William and Mary, this painting is not just an artwork but a piece of history. It embodies the spirit of Outsider Art and the enduring legacy of Anderson Johnson, whose quick wit and profound vision continue to inspire. This piece, "Mystique of the Commonplace: Portrait of a Brunette," is more than just a portrait; it's a celebration of the human spirit, the beauty of simplicity, and the enduring power of faith and art. It offers collectors and enthusiasts alike a rare glimpse into the soulful depths of Anderson Johnson's artistic genius and the profound impact of Outsider Art on the world.
