Vertical-Blue-Brown-White 1984

"Vertical-Blue-Brown-White", a 1984 work by American abstract artist Robert Goodnough, showcases a vibrant interplay of colors and shapes. Composed of a multitude of tiny, triangular shapes, the piece creates a dynamic texture reminiscent of a shimmering, organic form. The artist's signature use of bold, contrasting colors, particularly blue, brown, and white, imbues the composition with an energy that draws the viewer's attention. This abstract painting embodies the principles of gestural abstraction, reflecting Goodnough's unique approach to creating expressive and visually captivating artworks.
