Golden Dodge 1971

"Golden Dodge" is a photorealistic painting by Ralph Goings, completed in 1971. Goings is known for his hyperrealistic depictions of everyday objects and scenes, and this painting is a prime example of his style. The painting features a green Dodge pickup truck parked in front of a large, glass-fronted building. The meticulous detail in the painting, from the reflections in the windows to the texture of the truck's paint, is characteristic of Goings' work and creates a sense of both realism and stillness. This piece is a classic example of photorealism, a genre of painting that emerged in the 1960s and 70s, in which artists use photography as a primary source of inspiration.
