Summary
The urban landscape will never look the same again. As Stephen T. Johnson demonstrates in a series of strikingly realistic pastels and watercolors, a simple sawhorse can contain the letter “A” while lampposts alongside a highway can form a row of elegant, soaring Ys. A 1996 Caldecott Honor book, this sophisticated, wordless alphabet book is sure to appeal to young and old alike.

About The Author
Stephen T. Johnson
Stephen T. Johnson is a highly versatile American artist whose work spans painting, collage, drawing, sculpture, and installations. His art can be seen in museum and gallery exhibitions, public art commissions, and through his award-winning children’s books.
Much of Johnson’s work is characterized by an interest in the alphabet and language. This began with his book Alphabet City, which received a Caldecott Honor and was named a New York Times Best Illustrated Book of the Year. His most recent engagement with the alphabet is his ongoing series of “literal abstractions,” which are the subject of his book A is for Art - An Abstract Alphabet. This book was also a New York Times Best Illustrated Book of the Year and has been featured in several solo museum and gallery exhibitions.
