The Story Behind the Painting

1935
Oil on canvas
25 x 30 1/8 in. (63.5 x 76.5 cm.)

In a review of the 1935 Biltmore Salon exhibition in which the present work was included, Los Angeles Herald critic Alma May Cook praised, "In the exhibition opening this week Mr. Johnson has 16 canvases, all breathing the western life that is slowly giving way to 'civilization'...'Lure of the Rockies' might be termed a fulfillment of his childhood dreams, as might also the canvas entitled 'Through Starlit Hours,' for he has achieved the dream of his childhood and become not only a cowboy, but a painter of cowboy life." (November 6, 1935) The reviewer for Saturday Night similarly acclaimed the exhibition, writing, "Frank Tenney Johnson, A.N.A, and the Biltmore Salon should be put in the guide books as among our chief attractions during the current month...Break away from the world of spare tires and monoxide gas. Trail the footsteps of one of the few remaining cowboy painters. Through the magic of his art you follow the clock around from 'Morning Clouds' to eight adventures in mountain moonlight." (November 6, 1935)

Collectors often choose this fine art image when searching for fine art oil painting that feels substantial rather than decorative or disposable.
