Francis Hans Johnston, (later known as Frank or Franz), was born in Toronto, Ontario, in 1888. Johnston was a prolific painter. At an exhibition he held in Winnipeg in February 1922 (after taking a position as the principal of the Winnipeg School of Art), he displayed over 300 paintings—the largest solo exhibition Winnipeg had ever seen at that time.
