Joseph Goldyne
The Pull of the Eye, The Play of the Hand

Eric Denker, Thomas H Garver, Robert Flynn Johnson, Andrew Stevens

As the poet uses combinations of common words, abstract structures to themselves, to posit new meanings and interpretations of reality, so Goldyne uses his signature inflections of marks and colors in pictorializing familiar visual forms.

Joseph Goldyne’s paintings, drawings, and prints are sensitive, poetic evocations of the surrounding world, often with a deep appreciation for the history of art. Nuanced to present the seemingly mundane, while alluding to something more, his floral works, still lifes, landscapes, and portraits incisively probe the common sensory pleasures of meditating on aspects of the everyday.

It is for his peerless efforts in the refinement of the monotype rather than for his work in the classic intaglio media that Goldyne is acknowledged as one of the leading West Coast printmakers. A career-long habit of varying the impressions from his plates testifies to Goldyne’s continued commitment to discover the expressive potential of each inking, of each individual impression.

This comprehensive catalogue documents Goldyne’s evolution as an artist while exploring the ideas that have inspired his works.With more than 400 color illustrations, the publication also features a Catalogue Raisonné by Thomas H. Garver of Goldyne’s limited edition prints.
