Born in 1930, the sculptor is the son of J. Seward Johnson and the grandson of Robert Wood Johnson, the founder of Johnson & Johnson Corporation. Johnson, (actually J. Seward Johnson Jr.), is an American sculptor known for his trompe l'oeil bronze painted sculptures.  While his early artistic life focused on painting, he turned his talents to sculpture in 1968. Johnson is renowned for his life-size cast bronze statues of people of all ages engaged in day-to-day activities. He is the former President of the International Sculpture Center of Washington, D.C.  In 1974, he created the Johnson Atelier Technical Institute of Sculpture, an educational, non-profit art casting and fabrication facility as a means of fostering young sculptors' talents. He was selected by the United States Information Agency as the only sculptor to represent the United States at the World EXPO in Seville, Spain, 1992.
