MARGARET KENNARD JOHNSON, a Princeton resident, was first introduced to the art of Japanese printmaking while in residence in Japan where she lived for eight and a half years. As a teacher at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Ms. Johnson handed down lessons she herself learned studying under Josef Albers years before at Black Mountain College in North Carolina. (Albers had taught at the Bauhaus in Germany). She has described her tenure in Japan as a time of re-awakening, as though she was seeing things through the eyes of a child. Ms. Johnson absorbed the Eastern aesthetic of simplicity, incorporating this knowledge into her works. Organic processes and the materials themselves, which develop into a vibrant yet subtle dialogue between paper and ink, guide Ms. Johnson's visual expressions.
Subsequently Johnson has returned to Japan periodically and has been exhibited at the CWAJ show on a regular basis. In 1980 she co-authored "Japanese Prints Today: Tradition With Innovation". In the current exhibit Ms. Johnson will show her mesh relief print "Drawing Together". This is among those to be included in the Library of Congress Exhibit in DC.
The artists says, "Materials and processes inspire and guide my work. They provide the means for forming imagery and composition. They vitalize and characterize my visual expressions, whether with handmade paper, intaglio/relief printmaking, or other mediums".
Frame is loose, minor scratches. Print in good condition. It measures about 36" by 31".
