Ralph Goings Art

American, 1928-2016
Ralph Goings (1928 – 2016) is an American painter closely associated with the Photorealism movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s. He is best known for his highly detailed paintings of hamburger stands, pick-up trucks, and California banks, portrayed in a deliberately objective manner. Goings said of his choice to work in a photorealistic style when he returned to painting: "In 1963 I wanted to start painting again but I decided I wasn't going to do abstract pictures. It occurred to me that I should go as far to the opposite as I could. ... It occurred to me that projecting and tracing the photograph instead of copying it freehand would be even more shocking. To copy a photograph literally was considered a bad thing to do. It went against all of my art school training... some people were upset by what I was doing and said 'it's not art, it can't possibly be art'. That gave me encouragement in a perverse way, because I was delighted to be doing something that was really upsetting people... I was having a hell of a lot of fun..."

Bernard Cathelin Flower Still Life Lithograph
By Bernard Cathelin
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Bernard Cathelin was a French painter and lithographer known for his stylized abstractions of flowers, landscapes, and figures. This signed and numbered lithograph depicts primroses in a small pot. Cathelin used thick palette knife applications and rich colors to produce a sense of light and corporeal form in his paintings, not unlike the work of Nicolas de Staël. Many of Cathelin’s landscapes depict the area of Provence, France, where the artist’s mother was from. Born on May 20, 1919 in Paris, France, he went on to study at the Ecole National Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. In 2000, Cathelin was the subject of a retrospective at the Shanghai Art Museum. His works are in the collections of the Milwaukee Art...
