Brenda Goodman
"Farm No. 5" Abstract, Dark Dramatic Blue & Geometric Shapes

1988

About the Item

"Untitled" by Brenda Goodman is a painting that shows the psychological drama that Brenda brings to her artwork. She is particularly adept at rendering within the dark foreboding black backgrounds struggles that humans often live within. There is a dramatic tension set up between the forms represented here: the large looming over the small, the stronger over the weaker, the smarter over the less capable. This painting is open for and encourages endless interpretations. Brenda Goodman is an American artist and painter currently living and working in Pine Hill, New York. Her artistic practice includes paintings, works on paper and sculptures. She is one of the original Cass Corridor Artists from Detroit, Michigan. Other Cass Corridor Artists include Robert Sestok, Betty Brownlee, Michael Luchs, Kathy Brackett Luchs, John Egner, Nancy Mitchnik, John Chatelain, Aris Koutroulis, and Gordon Newton. Brenda Goodman is an extraordinary creative. She has been in hundreds of single, two-person and group shows from the early 1970s thru 2019, including the Willis Gallery in Detroit, Revolution in Ferndale, David Klein in Birmingham, Paul Kotula Projects in Ferndale and Center Galleries at College for Creative Studies in Detroit – all in Michigan.

"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...
