50: THOMAS B. JOHNSON (1890-1968) OIL ON CANVAS

Thomas Berger Johnson (1890-1968)
(1928)
The fine, large example by this student of Birger Sandzen is signed lower right and dated 1928.

Works by Nebraska artist Thomas Berger Johnson are very scarce, especially examples as large as this painting. He often chose compositions that served to document the small towns of Nebraska and Kansas. This view of small simple homes in a village below an elevated trestle is reminiscent of the type of settlements where workers employed by railroad or other industries found housing.
Canvas measures 30 x 36 with a framed size of 36.5 x 42.5 inches.
Very good condition noting a repair verso.
$1,000 - $2,000
