Sidney Goodman: Man in the Mirror
Text by Mark Rosenthal, Stephen Berg, Julien Robson.
Since the 1960s, Sidney Goodman has helped to maintain the vitality of American figurative art. Making the figure in the modern urban landscape his ongoing subject, Goodman collages images into compositions that are both clear and disquieting. Man in the Mirror documents the first major exhibition of Goodman's works on paper.
Sydney Goodman, Head With Red, 1988 . Charcoal and pastel on paper , 64 x 59 inches . Collection of Nat and Georgia Kramer.
PRAISE AND REVIEWS
Artblog
The self-questioning and doubt about the human depicted in these images is a sentiment every viewer can identify with. We’re all, in a way, the man (or woman) in the mirror, staring blankly, exposed in the simple act of morning ablutions, seeing ourselves as a specimen of humanity, and maybe a less-than-average specimen at that.
