About the Item

Anatomy Lesson, Segment 8 (modern figurative oil painting of a hand being measured with wooden calipers) by Robert Goldstrom 2024 oil on linen 12 x 12 inches signed and in excellent condition This painting is one in an extensive series of nude figure paintings by the artist Robert Goldstrom. His "Anatomy Lesson" works center on the male nude; each work is closely cropped so as to call attention to one part of the body. In the case of "Anatomy Lesson, Segment 4, 2024," Goldstrom lushly paints a man's hand that is being measured using wooden calipers. The work is self-referential, as the subject matter directly engages with symbolism associated with figure painting. This painting is available by itself or in a 16-part assemblage, pictured. Throughout his career as a fine artist, Goldstrom has explored a range of subjects in his distinct hand: a hybrid of realism and pointillism that is tight and terse while wholly musical. Whether part of an undulating Hudson Valley pastoral, a Provincetown beach scene or a sinewy anatomy study, his forms are defined by simple lines that entreat the eye to a joyride around the picture plane. He applies color in dollops that collectively cause the canvas to shimmer as if restless, too full of life to sit frozen in time. Although Goldstrom’s craftsmanship arguably excuses him from an obligation to aboutness, meaning abounds in his oeuvre — even if it is, at times, buried in the brushstrokes. “They’re about color, light, composition and rhythm, but there’s always something going on other than what is visually there,” he explained. “If there isn’t something going on, why would anybody be interested in looking at it?” About the artist: After making a name for himself as an illustrator, Robert Goldstrom devoted his energy to fine art, creating hundreds of paintings that engage a range of subject matter. His Anatomy Studies series comprises closely cropped paintings of the nude male figure; hung together, these paintings amount to a composite of bodies arranged in theatrical poses. His work has been exhibited in New York, Provincetown, and Texas; featured on-screen in CSI, The Following, and Allegiance; and is held in collections such as the Smithsonian Design Museum.
