Item Description

Rima Goodman paints contemporary mythology. She combines a painterliness learned from Matisse and Renaissance structure – when she wants -- or fabulous graphics – when she wants -- or a dreamy surrealism – as always when she wants. In short, she has mastered her craft. Goodman chooses her motifs from popular imagery, favorite paintings, dimly remembered mosaics, whatever, giving her paintings a lingering feeling that we’ve been there, somehow, seen something like there before. But we can’t quite remember. This is a painter who takes us on a disquieting, exhilarating journey. Exactly like our times. Rima Goodman is our best contemporary mythologist. – John T. Spike, Art Historian, of Italian art of the fifteenth through the eighteenth centuries. He is also the author of four of the more than 90 volumes published to date. In the course of his career, Spike has organized many exhibitions of Italian art and has read lectures at important museums around the world.
