Frank Tenney Johnson (June 26, 1874 – January 1, 1939) was a painter of the Old American West.
Frank Tenney Johnson (June 26, 1874 – January 1, 1939) was a painter of the Old American West, and he popularized a style of painting cowboys which became known as "The Johnson Moonlight Technique". He was born near Big Grove, Iowa. Raised on a farm on the old Overland Trail, he observed the western migration of people on horseback and in stage coaches and covered wagons. This exposure to the American West would prove to be an important influence and inspiration for Frank Tenney Johnson as an artist and painter of the American West. At one of Frank Tenney Johnson's exhibits at the Grand Central Art Galleries at the Biltmore Hotel in New York City, Amon Carter bought the entire exhibition.
