      PROPERTY OF A PROMINENT TEXAS COLLECTOR HARVEY WILLIAM

      Est: $7,000 - $10,000

      PROPERTY OF A PROMINENT TEXAS COLLECTOR HARVEY WILLIAM JOHNSON (American, 1921-2005) Trackin' Arapahos, 1976 Oil on canvas laid on masonite 20 x 30 inches (50.8 x 76.2 cm) Signed and dated lower right: HW Johnson CA / '76 Harvey W. Johnson grew up in an artistic family; both his mother and father attended the Art Student's League in New York and were successful artists. Johnson followed in their footsteps, enrolling in the Art Student's League following a stint in the Army during World War II. Upon graduation, he entered the commercial illustration field and was often given assignments that allowed him to further his study of American history, particularly the history of the fur trade and early western exploration. In addition to working as a magazine illustrator, Johnson spent nineteen years as a faculty member of the Famous Artists School in Connecticut, where he worked alongside his friend and mentor, Harold Von Schmidt. After reading a magazine article about a small group of artists who had recently begun a new organization devoted to American Western Art, Johnson wrote to one of the founders, Johnny Hampton, inquiring about the rules of membership. Hampton not only invited him to join the Cowboy Artists of America (CAA), but also asked him to participate in the group's first exhibition at the National Cowboy Hall of Fame. Johnson continued his membership in the CAA for the rest of his career and was an emeritus member upon his death in 2004. Although he painted many different western subjects from a wide variety of historic periods, he specialized in the period of the fur trade during the early part of the nineteenth century. Trackin' Arapahos is an excellent example of his talent as both artist and western historian.
