Bruce Johnson's witty and intricate line drawings are familiar to many Pennsylvanians, but his reputation as a fine artist extends well beyond the state. Now, for the first time, Johnson's best-known images are gathered in one place and reproduced in handsome large-format detail. The drawings, which Johnson calls his "Statements," are sometimes whimsical, sometimes satirical. Many have outdoor themes, illustrating how people enjoy, make use of, and abuse the natural world. Others celebrate the imagination; some are based on puns. Whatever the subject, the pieces are amusing and involving and rendered in Johnson's distinctive style.
