• Resumen

  • The article presents a commentary on the works of painter Lester Johnson. Dating from the 1960s, the earliest paintings of Lester Johnson reveal the residual influence of the New York School of Art. Typically working wet on wet, has Johnson described schematic male bodies with slashing brushstrokes, allowing excess pigment to drip and splatter across his canvases. Despite their loose execution, most of its single-figure compositions are rather stiff and hieratic.
