Painter Michael Goldberg is a second generation Abstract Expressionist. Born in 1924 in New York City, he studied at the Art Students League from 1938 until 1942, when he fought in World War II as a paratrooper in North Africa and Burma. After the war, Goldberg returned to New York and studied for two years under Hans Hofmann, who deeply influenced his work. His greatest influence, however, proved to be Willem de Kooning with his explosive brush work and fiery color. Goldberg, though, did not limit himself to one particular approach; rather he experimented with a wide variety of divergent styles, from monochromatic minimalism to calligraphy. Goldberg’s work is included in the collections of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery (Buffalo, New York), the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Chrysler Museum of Art (Norfolk, Virginia), De Cordova and Dana Museum (Lincoln, Massachusetts) and the Walker Art Center (Minneapolis, MN), among many others.
