Lovers of the Desert by Frank Tenney Johnson is one of those images that never dates. Our studio recreates it as a hand painted oil painting — textured, color-rich, and ready to hang as canvas wall art in a living room, study, or reception area.
Oil on canvas
36 x 28 inches
Fred Hogue wrote in the March 24, 1928 issue of the Los Angeles Times, “… Canvases like those produced by Frank Tenney Johnson are expressions that accurately record impressions. They are not produced in studios alone.… The moonlight is the moonlight of Navajo Land … and it is because he knows these things and reproduces them so well on his canvases that he towers above his contemporaries.… His canvases sign the legends of the range riders and of the Navajos.
“Russell knew the riders of the Northwest, but Russell is dead. Remington knew the cowboy and his mount and the whole story of the Old West; but Remington is dead. When Johnson is gone, the last of this trilogy of the trail and the range will have passed. As a painter of nocturnes, Frank Tenney Johnson is the peer of any artist that ever came out of the West. Russell and Remington could paint the sunlight, but when the twilight shadows began to fall they cleansed their brushes, assembled their canvases and withdrew.… Perhaps Frank Tenney Johnson is a poet who sings in color. There is a harmony in his canvases that escapes our five senses.… His best is equal to the best in any company. He possesses the secret of color, of light and shade, of technique and composition. Perhaps, when he is dead, other lovers of the beautiful will write of him and his art what I have here written.”
Our artists reproduce this fine art composition in oil on canvas by hand, preserving the tonal range that makes fine art oil painting so sought after for a living room.
This is a genuine hand painted oil painting, not a canvas print. Our painters match the palette of Lovers of the Desert by eye and build up the fine art forms in thin layers, which is what gives the finished fine art oil painting its luminosity.
Hang this fine art oil painting above a sofa, console, or bed to give a living room an instant focal point. Its timeless palette works with both minimalist and period interiors, and the piece also makes a considered gift for housewarmings, weddings, and art lovers.
