Michael Johnson is a severely underrated UK illustrator & painter.

I couldn't find a birth date, but he illustrated for all the big magazines in the USA and UK in the 1950s-70s. He has since transitioned into gallery painting, and from my research, is still doing it!

At the height of his career, Norman Granz was one of the most powerful non-musicians in jazz. He fought for the music, for his artists, and against racism, forcing many hotels and concert venues to become integrated in the 1940s and 1950s.

Nakahara's 1950s Shōjo work shows young women as modern, confrontational and self-aware. Compared to the demure and modest poses of his 1930s illustrations the difference is very striking.
