In 1954 Johnson wrote a five page piece in The Burlington Magazine about the exhibitions in London and Dublin of Géricault’s The Raft of the Medusa. This was the first of his published works. He completed his doctoral thesis in 1958 under the supervision of Anthony Blunt and this thesis was to be the basis of his first book, Delacroix, published in 1963—the centenary of the artist’s death. By this time he had been made a lecturer at the Department of Fine Art, Toronto, where he was appointed a professor in 1973.
