His parents were involved in artistic and professional circles. In 1890, his mother brought the children to America, settling in Manistee, Michigan, with her sister's family. They would eventually move to Manitowoc, Wisconsin, a city on the shore of Lake Michigan. As a teenager, Johann was actively involved in choirs and singing groups. And he always loved to draw and paint, and while he was too impatient to take well to schoolwork, and never went beyond the 5th grade.

This exceptional 1924 original oil painting by influential Colorado modernist John E. Thompson depicts the historic High Bridge—New York City’s oldest surviving bridge—as it rises gracefully above the Harlem River. A rare and dynamic example of Thompson’s early modernist style, the work blends architectural realism with expressive, textured brushwork.

Thompson – Pioneer of Colorado Modernism John Edward Thompson (1876–1945) is celebrated as the “Dean of Colorado Artists” and a foundational figure in introducing European modernism to the American West.
