San Francisco based artist Ian Johnson has been busy since his 2008 monograph Beauty is a Rare Thing. Six solo shows and a group exhibition later, his work has evolved while remaining just as jarringly cool and full of life. This new book from Paper Museum Press presents all-new paintings and drawings by Johnson in his signature style: portraits of jazz musicians from the 40s, 50s, and 60s that were produced using gouache, acrylic, or pen on paper or wood panel.
