Untitled No. 4 1974

Joe Goode's 1974 abstract painting "Untitled No. 4" evokes a sense of peeling paint, creating a visual texture that is both beautiful and unsettling. The muted pink and green hues contrast against the cool gray background, highlighting the fragmentation and layering of the image. The cracks and chips in the surface suggest a passage of time and the inevitable decay of even the most solid structures. This minimalist work is a captivating study of the ephemeral nature of both form and memory, leaving the viewer to contemplate the layers beneath the surface.
