Paper Museum Press

Paper Museum Press is pleased to announce the release of, Beauty Is A Rare Thing, a visual document of the artist Ian Johnson.

Johnson primarily paints images of Jazz musicians and authors. Although a huge jazz fan, Johnson's initial attraction to his subject matter was the personal style that many of Jazz legends of the 50's, 60's, 70's carried. The look was sharp and clean, an understated coolness permeated the culture. Johnson took these visual ques and added a modern sensibility to these characters. The poses and compositions are classic but the style they are rendered in is very modern. His use of the color and pattern mimics the improvisational nature of jazz and further enhances the modern nature of the work.

6" x 9", 80 pages, perfect bound.
6 color offset print on 80lb uncoated stock
