| 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 of color. Somewhat surrealistic, these paintings leaned toward the abstraction that ultimately defined his early career. By 1975 the floating shapes became more gestural in larger works in oil or wax over linen stretched over wood panels. In the early 1980's, Goldberg perfected the technique of encaustic painting for which he became most well-known. |
