Robert Goodnough American
Not on view
Goodnough recalled that he “came to New York City just in time to see the development of the New York School. When I arrived, Pollock, de Kooning, Rothko, and all were already being recognized.” He had studied with Amedée Ozenfant, but preferred Hans Hofmann: “Hofmann got me freed up.” The critic Clement Greenberg championed Goodnough for a while and wrote about this painting. “His small blackish painting in the . . . Newman collection is one of the best things in it, and that’s saying a lot. The picture is tight, nuanced, and at the same time ‘violent’.”
