The Rhythmic Geometry of Robert Goodnough: Abstract 2 (1982)
Robert Goodnough, a central figure of the second-generation New York School, masterfully bridged the gap between the raw energy of Abstract Expressionism and the cool precision of Color Field painting. This 1982 masterpiece, Abstract 2, represents a sophisticated evolution of his signature style. By the early 1980s, Goodnough had perfected his 'clusters'—meticulously arranged shards of color that seem to float weightlessly across the canvas, creating a sense of dynamic suspension and lyrical movement.
