  Frank Johnston (artist) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frank Johnston (June 19, 1888 – July 19, 1949) was a Canadian artist associated with the Group of Seven.
Johnston did not use the techniques of Harris and MacDonald but, employing tempera rather than oil paint, he searched out the pattern and texture of his subject.
Johnston exhibited with The Group of Seven only once, in their first show at the Art Gallery of Toronto (now the Art Gallery of Ontario) in May 1920.
