Art of Betty Goodwin

To celebrate a career that spans more than fifty years, this beautifully produced book presents Goodwin's most important work as well as many early paintings and prints published for the first time. In the introduction, Anne Michaels links the intense experience of looking at Goodwin's work to the paradox of disappearance and materialization. Matthew Teitelbaum's essay traces the thematic developments in Goodwin's early work, specifically addressing the place of mourning in her art, and Jessica Bradley's conversation with Goodwin sheds new light on the artist's process. An afterword by Robert Racine offers a personal reflection on Goodwin's achievement, and Anne-Marie Ninacs's chronology presents many biographical facts on the artist's work and life.
