Whitman Johnson
After earning a BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute, Whitman Johnson moved to Santa Fe in 1975. Solo and group exhibits of his paintings and drawings include shows at Ernesto Mayans Gallery, the Armory for the Arts, the Santa Fe Festival of the Arts, and the Stables Art Center in New Mexico, as well as the Cochise Fine Art Center in Bisbee, Arizona, the Cabrillo College Gallery in Aptos, California, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri, and the Grace Borgenicht Gallery in New York City. Johnson served as a juror for the 1985 "Landscapes of the Southwest" exhibit at the Stables Art Center in Taos. His work is in a number of corporate and public collections, such as Frito-Lay, Inc., Sprint Corporation, and the Museum of New Mexico. Landscape drawings by Johnson are on the book covers of Weathered and Campanile; a still life is the cover painting of Spectral Line, jointly published in 1999 by the Santa Fe Public Library and the Institute of American Indian Arts. One of his landscape paintings was used as the recurrent image on materials designed for the 1996 CIO Executive Forum of software manufacturers, which was organized by Sun Microsystems and was held in Santa Fe.
