contents We explain how the Johnson homomorphism and the Enomoto-Satoh trace, as well as higher-loop-order generalizations, can be obtained from graph complexes originating in the Goodwillie-Weiss calculus. This paper can be seen as an addendum to our earlier work. It contains little new mathematical content, but is intended to give an overview of a different viewpoint on the Johnson homomorphism, for experts working mainly in the latter area.
