About the Item
"Untitled Abstract" is by the American painter, Robert Goodnough, known for calligraphy-like markings circa 1960s. Though he was associated with the Abstract Expressionists, Goodnough’s work varied in style and often eluded categorization. “I like to work freely, to slash with the brush and let loose. I also like to work carefully and with discipline,” he once explained. In later years his paintings were associated with the Color Field Movement.
This painting is in Goodnough's style from the 1960s, with signature on verso along with the provenance from the Getrude Kasle Collection, a collection from a Southfield, Michigan estate that went to auction. This piece was originally purchased from the Gertrude Kasle Gallery during an opening in 1965.
Gertrude Kasle had opened the Gertrude Kasle Gallery in Detroit in 1965. During its eleven years of operation it introduced many in the region to the works of many of the up and coming modern and abstract expressionist artists from New York City and other locations, such as Larry Rivers, Grace Hartigan, Robert Goodnough, and Robert Natkin. The opening exhibition featured Larry Rivers, Grace Hartigan, Robert Goodnough, Irving Kreisberg, and Manoucher Yektai.
Born on 1917 in Cortland, New York, Goodnough graduated from Syracuse University and painted in a representational style early on in his career. After serving in the military during World War II, he attended the painting classes of both Amedee Ozenfant and Hans Hofmann. The artist went on to receive his MA from New York University, and soon after fell into a milieu of artists and writers that included William de Kooning and Helen Frankenthaler. He went on to become a contributing writer for Art News and exhibited his work both in the United States and abroad. Goodnough died in 2010 in New York at the age of 92.
Goodnough was a veteran of scores of solo exhibitions and hundreds of group exhibitions in the United States and abroad. In 1969 he had a solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in NYC and the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo. A major work by Goodnough is included in The Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller Empire State Plaza Art Collection in Albaby, N.Y. His works are held in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C., the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art among others.

Robert Goodnough, 1917-2010
Though he is often grouped with the Abstract Expressionists, Robert Goodnough’s style incorporates representational forms that work against the abstract dogmas set by this movement. In this painting, Goodnough’s use of abstract shapes and primary colors are simple in concept, but complicated in their overlapping and varying sizes. This work has been exhibited at the Wittenborn Gallery in 1950, The Whitney Museum of American Art in 1957, the Museum of Modern Art in 1969, the National Academy in 2007, and Bowdoin College Museum of Art in 2009.

View All"Red Harmony" Abstract, Geometric, Colors, Bright Red, Green
By William Antonow
Located in Detroit, MI
SALE ONE WEEK ONLY
"Red Harmony" is an abstract painting that does have a sculptural presence in the shapes of the red areas. The lush greens blend various shades into a background that while it does contrast sharply with the reds, it is not in conflict. The overall effect of this work is dynamic in its energy while at the same time harmonious.
One of the original Cass Corridor artists from the 1960s William Antonow studied at the School of the Detroit Society of Arts and Crafts (now the College for Creative Studies) and at Wayne State University, where he received his BFA (1967) and MA (1970.)
Antonow’s first one-person show at the Willis Gallery in 1971, represented a radical departure from his early work – abstract bronzes shown at the Michigan Artists exhibitions at the Detroit Institute of Arts in 1969 and 1970. A founding member of the Willis, Antonow publicized his exhibition with a cryptic invitation stating, “art isn’t anything.” Echoing the challenge implicit in the exhibition announcement, the works in the show consisted of precariously balanced piles of such non-art materials as wood crates and barrels, corrugated paper or cardboard, cellophane and beer cans. These brash, paint-slathered juxtapositions of salvaged objects were perhaps the first example of the nascent “tough art” aesthetic of the Cass Corridor. (Both Gordon Newton’s wood constructions and Bob Sestok’s crude “radio wheels” first appeared in 1972.)
In 1975, in the inaugural group exhibition of the Willis at its new location in the Fisher Building...

"Untitled Abstract" Oil on Board, Abstract Expressionist, Signed by the Artist
Located in Detroit, MI
SALE ONE WEEK ONLY
The energy and gusto of the applied paint in "Untitled Abstract" appears close to violent except for the calming influence of the circle in the middle. The red circle tempers the movement a little and brings all the strokes and wild directions into a harmony that is bursting with life. This is an extraordinarily expressive painting by Simpson.
Simpson became the first African American to receive a prestigious five-year fellowship from the Charleston Scientific and Cultural Education fund and left South Carolina in 1949 for New York City after he finished high school. He attended New York University and Cooper Union while working in the frame shop of Herbert Benevy. Many well-known artists came to the frame shop and in time critiqued Simpson's work and developed a relationship with him. At NYU Simpson became acquainted with Hale Woodruff...
