Robert Goodnough's 1970 Untitled: A Study in Abstract Contrast
R obert Goodnough's 1970 Untitled work exemplifies the artist's exploration of abstract forms and dynamic compositions. Created during a period of intense experimentation in American abstract art, this piece reflects Goodnough's unique approach to color and form.
This untitled work from 1970 emerges from Goodnough's period of post-painterly abstraction, where he moved away from the gestural brushwork of Abstract Expressionism towards a more structured, yet equally expressive visual language. The composition demonstrates his mastery of balancing color fields with organic shapes, creating a visual tension that invites prolonged contemplation.
Goodnough and the Evolution of Abstract Expressionism
Robert Goodnough was a significant figure in the second generation of Abstract Expressionists, often associated with the "Post-Painterly Abstraction" movement that emerged in the late 1950s and 1960s. This movement sought to move beyond the emotional intensity of Action Painting towards a more cerebral approach to abstraction.
By 1970, when this untitled work was created, Goodnough had developed a distinctive style that combined geometric abstraction with organic forms. This piece represents his ability to create complex visual relationships through seemingly simple elements, a hallmark of his mature work.
The Making of an Abstract Masterwork

Color and Contrast
The restricted color palette demonstrates Goodnough's mastery of tone and contrast. Subtle variations in hue and saturation give depth to the composition without overwhelming the viewer.
