Provenance Compass Rose, Chicago 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.

"You Never Told Me You Love Me" (2024) is an abstract geometric painting where muted tones of black, light grey, and dusty pink become a visual metaphor for absence and longing. The work speaks of unspoken words and the silences that often define relationships as much as declarations do. Through the quiet geometry of form and the delicate tension of color, the painting captures the fragility of love, the ache of loss, and the insecurities that linger when affection remains unexpressed. Exhibited in Paris at the Romanian Cultural Institute (Brancusi Inspire, 2024), this piece connects deeply personal emotion with a broader international dialogue on abstraction and vulnerability. Direct from the artist’s studio, it stands as both a private confession and a universal meditation on silence and desire.
