	EASTMAN JOHNSON 1824
		When Eastman Johnson painted Feather Duster Bay, he was turning to a theme that had considerable appeal to American art patrons in the mid-nineteenth century, that of the young entrepreneur eagerly hawking his wares or his skills.
		Johnson draws a solid figure with a convincing contrapposto, and he understands the massing of lights and darks.
		Typical also of Johnsons work are his use of the brown underpainting to represent the middle tones in the composition and his deployment of delicate highlights to animate the surface of the painting, such as the blue lights on the boy's shoes.

		Johnson's Corn Husking (Pl. VII) was exhibited at the annual exhibition of the National Academy of Design in New York City in 1861, which opened three weeks before the bombardment of Fort Sumter and was still running when nearly two hundred thousand New Yorkers rallied in Union square in support of the Union cause.
		Johnson's inclusion of the inscription "Lincoln and Hamlon" on the barn door in Corn Husking is a reference to Lincoln's running mate in 1860, Hannibal Hamlin (1809-1891) of Maine.
		Johnson's subsequent production of what he called "Down east"(6) scenes was dominated by his effort to produce a large and profitable canvas on the theme of maple sugaring, which he never painted despite producing preparatory figure studies.

	Sugaring Off - The Maple Sugar Paintings of Eastman Johnson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Maple sugar occupies a distinct place in New England lore, a place the artist Eastman Johnson (1824-1906) sought to define and exploit in a series of paintings of sugar making from the early 1860s, when Johnson was becoming one of the most prominent genre painters and portraitists of his time.
		Johnson, who lived in Fryeburg, Maine, as a child, used the sugaring off to explore a range of New England characteristics and types.
		Yet for all his efforts, Johnson never completed a major oil of the sugaring off, and all of the works in the exhibition are experiments for the final painting that he mysteriously never finished.

	Eastman Johnson: Paintings and Drawings of the Lake Superior Ojibwe
		Johnson's images are of individuals, not types, and always present their subjects in a manner that appears both casual and dignified, an observation that has been verified by the comments of many Native American visitors who have seen the exhibition in Duluth.
		Eastman Johnson's painting of his sister's husband William Newton is a classic example of mid-19th century portraiture: a skilled blend of accurate likeness, attention to detail, and a hint of the sitter's station in life in his face, body language, and clothing.
		Johnson's drawing skill is evident in the firm outlines of the face, with smudges of charcoal that mark the shadows of his cheekbones and textures of his hair.

	Sugaring Off: The Maple Sugar Paintings of Eastmen Johnson
		While Johnson is best known for his portraits of distinguished members of society, representations of fl life in the South, and scenes of cranberry harvests on Nantucket Island, one of his most intriguing projects revolved around his efforts to produce a major picture depicting a "sugaring off" in New England.
		While Johnson's maple sugar paintings might at first appear to be straightforward nostalgic scenes of a traditional New England activity, they were intended to communicate a powerful message about freedom and independence.
		Given the position of maple sugar in political and moral debates, Johnson could well have understood the subject as a metaphor for the larger themes implicit in the establishment of the nation.

		His sentimental genre scenes of rustic youth and rural life were extremely popular in the wake of the Civil War, evoking a nostalgia for simpler times.
