פרנק טני ג'ונסון החל את הקריירה שלו כמאייר עבור Field and Stream Magazine בשנת 1904. ג'ונסון התגורר בניו יורק מ-1904 עד 1920; עם זאת, הוא נסע למערב האמריקאי הגדול כדי לאסוף חומר מקור לעבודתו בסטודיו.


 


מסעו של ג'ונסון בשנת 1912 לשמורת מונטנה בלקפוט עם צ'ארלס ראסל היה רגע מכונן עבור האמן; לאחר מסע זה, הוא התיישב בקולורדו במשך שנים רבות. לאחר חזרה קצרה לקליפורניה, בילה האמן שנים רבות בסטודיו החדש שלו בקודי, וויומינג.


 


עבודות מתקופה זו זיכו את ג'ונסון בתארים "המאסטר של ציור אור הירח האמריקאי" ו"צייר המאסטר של המערב הישן". הציור "צופיות" מציג סצנה ילידית אידילית; מחקריו והתנסויותיו של ג'ונסון ממקור ראשון עם הילידים היו נושא חוזר בעבודתו.
