John Orne Johnson Frost (January 2, 1852 – November 3, 1928), who signed his work as J.
O.
J.
Frost, was an early 20th century American folk artist.
He began painting at the age of 70, without receiving any formal training.
Frost considered himself a historian, not an artist, and his paintings portrayed daily life in the fishing village of Marblehead, Massachusetts, during the mid-19th century, as well as the town's colonial history. Frost's works are in the collections of the Marblehead Museum in Marblehead, Massachusetts, the Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown, New York, the Shelburne Museum in Shelburne, Vermont and the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C.
