Johnson Hagood
Johnson Hagood (American, b. 1957) is a painter working in Charleston, South Carolina. Born in Colombia, South America, Hagood moved to Charleston at the age of thirteen. He studied at the College of Charleston under William Halsey & Corrie McCallum. After a brief stint in the Air Force, he became a professional artist. Hagood paints the rapidly disappearing barrier islands and marshes of the South Carolina Lowcountry.
Some of his canvases are in an elongated horizontal format, and include sunrises or sunsets, another fleeting element in his work. Hagood is intrigued by the nocturne work of Frederick Remington and Charles Rollo Peters, and has studied Remington's palette, which he uses in his nocturnes. He has also been exploring the rural & urban scene in South Carolina, another part of the vanishing South.
His work is included in hundreds of private collections as well as of Bank of America, BellSouth, City of Charleston, Carolina First Bank, Gibbes Museum of Art, Greenville County Museum of Art, Morris Museum of Art, Roper Hospital,Safety Kleen Corporation, & Wild Dunes Corporation.
In 2011, Hagood was the focus of a one-man show at the Greenville County Museum of Art.
