Double Back Chair c. 1939

Dorothy Johnson's "Double Back Chair" is a detailed pencil drawing of a simple wooden chair with a woven rush seat. The chair's design is characteristic of a traditional American style, and the artwork's focus on the chair's form and structure demonstrates Johnson's keen eye for detail and her interest in folk art. The piece was created in 1939, during Johnson's prolific career as a painter and illustrator. It's a quiet and understated work that highlights the beauty of everyday objects.
