| Physical Description: | Dark ink wash border surrounds lighter landscape composition drawn primarily in dark pencil with some black and some white wash. Primarily sky with a horizon line along the bottom. Composition consists of a vertical element, a black, circular element from which lines radiate outward. There is a white horizontal crescent shape that runs along the bottom of the composition; there is some red crayon or pencil over the white. Signature runs along right side of drawing, just outside of the border. |
| Description: | Joseph Goldberg was born in1947 in Seattle and grew up on a farm outside Spokane, WA, where he graduated from East Valley High School. After attending the University of Washington, and early in his career, Goldberg created small works on paper, landscapes in which small shapes floated within larger planes. Somewhat surrealistic, these paintings leaned toward the abstraction that ultimately defined his early career. "Spider Sky" is typical of this period. |
