Joshua Johnson
 

Joshua Johnson (1763–1832) was an African American folk artist. He was the first to gain recognition. We know more about the people that Johnson painted than we know about the artist. We think he was born a slave, and gained his freedom at around the age of twenty. Some skilled were allowed to purchased their freedom by keep the wages they earned on their free time. Johnson may have earned the money through the sale of his paintings.

His paintings have a strange sense of proportion and rigidity that give them a folk art quality. Usually his subjects are seen holding objects. Even the dog in the second picture has an object.
