Artist of the Month - Ernest Borough Johnson, 1867–1949

Ernest Borough Johnson was a painter in oils, watercolours, tempera and pastel of portraits, figure subjects and landscapes. He was also an important lithographer, etcher and charcoal draughtsman, and was distinguished as a writer on techniques of drawing.
He studied at Slade School under Alphonse Legros (1885-7), and at the Herkomer Art School in Bushey (1887-9). He exhibited very widely at the principal London galleries from 1886 and extensively abroad. His published books included 'The Art of The Pencil' which is a wonderful record of his fine draughtsmanship. Amongst his highly successful work he was an illustrator for Thomas Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles.
And some of these pictures can be completed as jjigsaw puzzles too!
