Mitchell Johnson of Menlo Park, California—an American Academy in Rome Visiting Artist (2015) and a Josef and Anni Albers
Foundation Artist in Residence (2007)—is the subject of the monograph, Color as Content, and the documentary film, The Artist of
Silicon Valley. Johnson’s color- and shape-driven paintings are known for their very personal approach to color and have been exhibited
in Milan, New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Johnson divides his time between his favorite painting locations in Europe,
New England, New York City, Asia, and California. His paintings are in the collections of 28 museums and over 600 private collections.
The most recent museum acquisitions were by Museo Morandi in Bologna, Museum of Modern Art in Rome, Tucson Museum of Art,
and Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento. Johnson moved to the Bay Area in 1990 after finishing his MFA at Parsons in New York.
