“City by Numbers reflects my continuing attraction to cities for their wealth of visual possibilities. In these urban landscapes are wonderful images waiting to be transformed into paintings... Cities are one of our greatest human assets, for they embody and embrace diversity, connecting us with our past and linking us to our future. As the 21st century unfolds, it may be an appropriate time to reflect on the past century with its prodigious urban achievements and ask ourselves how we can preserve buildings, neighborhoods, and areas that have unique character and charm. It is also a time to marvel at our innovations as we move into this wondrous new era.”
— Stephen T. Johnson, City by Numbers (1998)
