Moving Towards Fire 1983

"Moving Towards Fire" is a 1983 watercolor by Betty Goodwin, an American artist known for her abstract expressionist style. The piece features a nude figure contorted in a pose suggestive of movement, drawn in bold strokes of red against a backdrop of pale yellow and orange. The background is created with soft washes and suggestive of layers, perhaps referencing the complex emotional states of the figure. Goodwin's work often explored themes of the human condition and the relationship between the individual and the environment. This piece, with its raw energy and evocative imagery, is a testament to her powerful artistic vision.
