Is it in one of their books?

The Johnstone twins ability to 'draw' and knowlege of anatomy really underpins their imaginative leaps, stylization, and colour sense - like the Provensens and other US counterparts of the 50s and 60s. So glad they are all being given the credit they are due - thank you!Bridget Marzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08113818186666446243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1222814162697318696.post-5382881190692228222015-10-30T19:09:20.875+00:002015-10-30T19:09:20.875+00:00Peter, that was really interesting - they're t...Peter, that was really interesting - they're the pictures of my childhood. <br />Jan Carrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11335419896028312596noreply@blogger.com
