Born near Big Grove, Iowa, Frank Tenney Johnson, became one of the most famous early 20th-century painters of Western genre.
He
was raised on a farm on the old Overland Trail where he observed
western migration of people on horseback, in stage coaches, and in
covered wagons. At age of 10, he moved with his family to
Milwaukee, and he apprenticed there to panorama painter F.W. Heine
(1845-1921), whose specialty was painting horses. From that time,
Johnson was ever studyin (showing 500 of 19611 characters). |
