Edwin Boyd Johnson (November 4, 1904 – 1968) was an American painter, designer, muralist and photographer. Edwin Boyd Johnson was born on November 4, 1904, in Watertown, Tennessee,.[1] Not long thereafter, the family moved to Nashville, TN, where he attended grade and high school.[1] After being graduated, he enrolled in the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (1925-1930) . He also studied at the National Academy of Design in New York City.[1] The Bryan Lathrop Foreign Traveling Scholarship of $1500 (1931)[2] enabled him to study fresco painting at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Vienna, the Atelier de Fresque of Paris, and the Ecole Egyptienne des Beaux Arts in Alexandria, Egypt.[1] He was a member of the Chicago Society of Artists, and during the 1930s and early 40's, he participated in many of their exhibits.[3] He was the recipient of several awards, among them the Joseph N. Eisendrath Prize for "Nude" in 1938 and, in 1940, the William M.R. French Memorial Gold Medal from the Art Institute Alumni Association for his painting "Mother and Child."[4] As a participant in the government's Alaskan project, he painted pictures of that state to promote protection of the wilderness.[5] One of those, "Mt. Kimball," hangs in the Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center.[6][7] While Johnson painted in both water colors and oils, he is best known for his murals, which were funded by the WPA Federal Art Project. These include the recently restored "Airmail," in the Melrose Park Library (Chicago - 1937),[8][9][10] The Old Days, in the Tuscola, IL, post office (1941), People of the Soil in Dixon, TN, which, although photographed for the 1996 book Tennessee Post Office Murals, is no longer open to view.[11][12] and the City Hall mural in Sioux Falls, SD (1936).[13] He was an honorary member of the United States Armed Forces in World War II.[14] After the war he took up residence in Mexico City, where he turned his artistic focus to photography.[15] He died in 1968.[11] {{commonscat|Edwin Boyd Johnson}}References1. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.askart.com/artist_bio/Edwin_Boyd_Johnson/108858/Edwin_Boyd_Johnson.aspx|title=Edwin Boyd Johnson (1904 - 1968)|last=|first=|date=|website=|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Johnson, Edwin Boyd}}2. ^{{cite news|title=Art Institute Students Win Prizes at Show |last=Jewett |first=Eleanor |newspaper=Chicago Tribune |date=June 13, 1931}} 3. ^http://www.artic.edu/research/exhibition-history 4. ^{{cite news|title=Chicago and NY Divide Art Honors|newspaper=Oakland Tribune|date=29 December 1940}} 5. ^{{cite book|last=Brinkley|first=Douglas|title=The quiet world saving Alaska's wilderness kingdom, 1879-1960|year=2011|publisher=Harper|location=New York|isbn=9780062035332|page=315|edition=1st}} 6. ^{{cite book|last=Woodward|first=Kesler E.|title=Painting in the North : Alaskan art in the Anchorage Museum of History and Art|year=1993|publisher=Univ. of Washington Press|location=Seattle [u.a.]|isbn=9780295973197|page=103}} 7. ^http://www.anchoragemuseum.org/galleries/GalleryViewer2.aspx?incGal=1&cID=3&LayoutID=1&pageIndex=2&pageSize=8 8. ^http://www.wpamurals.com/illinois.htm 9. ^{{cite book|last=Marbella|first=Fidencio|title=Melrose Park|year=2009|publisher=Arcadia Pub.|location=Charleston, SC|isbn=9780738560939|page=127|author2=Flanagan, Margaret}} 10. ^http://www.melroseparklibrary.org/fresco 11. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite book|last=Hull|first=Howard|title=Tennessee Post Office murals|year=1996|publisher=Overmountain Press|location=Johnson City, Tenn.|isbn=9781570720307|page=54. 57}} 12. ^http://www.wpamurals.com/dickson.htm 13. ^{{cite book|title=The WPA Guide to South Dakota |first=John E. |last=Miller |publisher=Minnesota Historical Society |year=2006 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=qLQO_w31U3wC&q=Edwin+Boyd+Johnson |page=156 |isbn=9780873515528}} 14. ^http://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth183315/m1/9/ 15. ^{{cite journal|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Z14zAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA217&sa=X&ei=WhDFUaPHPIXDswaFjYC4DA&ved=0CDQQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=&f=false |magazine=Popular Photography |date=December 1951 |title=Prize Winner in the Photography 1951 International Picture Contest (Black and White) |pages=127 and 212}} 8 : 1904 births|1968 deaths|School of the Art Institute of Chicago alumni|20th-century American painters|American male painters|American muralists|Federal Art Project artists|People from Watertown, Tennessee |
