Charles Griffin Farr Standing Nude oil on canvas 1962
Charles Griffin Farr – “Standing Nude” oil on canvas – 1962. He witnessed and rendered the American Depression in the 1930s, World War II in the 1940s, a charged art scene in San Francisco in the 1950s-1990s and a vibrant neighborhood of creative people living on Potrero Hill. Charles Griffin Farr was also a proponent of the importance of the arts. He offered weekly figure drawing sessions in his Potrero Hill studio and home. Farr also organized a local art show at the San Francisco Public Library, Potrero Branch, called the Potrero Hill Artists’ Exhibition in 1958. This is the oldest annual art show in San Francisco and owes its longevity to a group of artists who painted with, or under the tutelage of Farr. This exhibition is credited with helping to save the Potrero Branch of the library from being closed during budget cuts. Charles Griffin Farr was represented by the Hackett Freedman Gallery in San Francisco until it closed in 2009. He is in a number of important public and private art collections.

ROBERT GOODNOUGH Signed 1965 Oil on Canvas Painting – “Standing Figure”. Robert Goodnough was born in upstate. Though he later evolved into a full-blown abstractionist, while at. He worked realistically from casts and from life. Hofmann, at this time in. Probably had more to do with shifting young American painters away from making art from reality and realist thinking into abstraction than any other teacher of painting. Goodnough would later teach at. He also served as an art critic for Art News Magazine from 1950 to 1957. Goodnough became another of the tens of thousands of artists caught up in the Cubism of Pablo Picasso. He was also attracted by the stark abstractions Piet Mondrian. He combined these styles in the 1950s with that of Hofmann, his teacher, in a hybrid of Cubism and Abstract Expressionism. Since that time, like so many other abstractionists, Goodnough has been influenced by many abstract directions in art, including collage, sculpted constructions of birds and figures, and hard-edge paintings in the 1950s and 60s.

His work is in the following collections: Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo; Art Institute of Chicago; Baltimore Museum of Art; Birmingham Museum of Art, Alabama; Museum of Modern Art, Whitney Museum of American Art and Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Newark Museum, New Jersey; and the Rhode Island School of Design, Providence.
