Sidney Goodman’s 1961 debut exhibition at the Terry Dintanfass Gallery was very well received, leading to purchases by The Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art and other important institutions. He received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1964 and was selected to be part of the Whitney Biennial in 1973. He held significant positions teaching at the Philadelphia College of Art (1960-78) and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art (1978-2011). From the mid-1960s to the late 1970s, Goodman became particularly concerned with what he calls the “‘violated landscape’ - inanimate structures (water tanks, gas tanks, dumpsters, stadiums, incinerators) that threaten the harmony of nature.” He used a polaroid camera, and on-site sketches to capture areas of interest that he then would use as references back in his studio. Pile, 1964, is a highly finished work from this period. Divided Landscape, 1966 illustrates the artists’ dexterous drawing skills both in the accuracy of the subject as well as formal abstract concerns of geometry, rhythm, and balance.
