Born Sylvan Irwin Goldberg in 1924 and raised in the Bronx, Michael Goldberg was an important figure in American Abstract Expressionism, who began taking art classes at the Art Students League in 1938. A gifted student, Goldberg finished high school at the age of 14 and enrolled in City College. He soon found New York’s jazz scene to be a more compelling environment, and he began skipping classes in favor of the Harlem jazz clubs near campus. Goldberg’s love of jazz would become a lifelong passion and a key component to his approach to composition in his paintings.
From 1940 to 1942, like many of the leading artists of the New York School, Goldberg studied with Hans Hofmann. In 1943, he put his pursuit of painting on hold and enlisted in the U.S. Army. Serving in North Africa, Burma, and India, Goldberg received a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star before being discharged in 1946. After his service, he traveled and worked in Venezuela before returning to the United States, settling back in New York and resuming studies with Hofmann and at the Art Students League.
Living downtown and frequenting the Cedar Bar, Goldberg befriended many of the artists of the New York School. In 1951, his work was included in the groundbreaking Ninth Street Show, co-organized by Leo Castelli, Conrad Marca-Relli, and the Eighth Street Club, and featuring the work of - among others - Hofmann, Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Franz Kline. In 1953, the Tibor de Nagy...

In his drawings, John MacWhinnie's touch looks both fast and careful. As passages of light and dark gray build themselves into volumes, the surface takes on a lively filicker. Lots of paper shows through, so white advances constantly twoard the eye, flattening volumetric forma and working against illusions of space. Space resists: MacWhinnie's flickering grays lead into depth and provide form - especially bodies - with convincing situations to inhabit.

Published: June 28, 1981
WATER MILL THOUGH he is only 36 years old, John MacWhinnie has been a presence in Long Island painting circles for 15 years. He had his first solo exhibition at the Cord Gallery in Southampton in 1966, followed by a number of shows at Southampton College. He has also been featured at the Parrish Art Museum and garnered a prize at the Heckscher Museum for excellence in painting.
Mr. MacWhinnie took some time to find his own voice, having been influenced by Willem de Kooning, Larry Rivers and Alex Katz. He flirted with a variety of popular stylistic persuasions as if he, like Raphael, had to swallow all he admired before he could become his own man.
As his current exhibition at the Louise Himelfarb Gallery proves...
