| Biography/History: | Joseph Goldberg was born April 27, 1947 in Seattle, WA and grew up on a farm outside Spokane, WA, and graduated from East Valley High School. He attended the University of Washington before dropping out of school in 1968. Goldberg began his career during the 1960's creating small landscape drawings and paintings on paper 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. Among the holdings of the Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture are two large encaustic paintings and several works on paper. |
