| (Profile only availible in german - translated by machine) The American painter and graphic artist Ralph Goings has become one of the luminaries of the international celebrity photo realism. Born in 1928 in Corning, California, studied Ralph Goings by the year 1953 at the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland and to 1965 at the Sacramento State College, now California State University, in Sacramento. As a teacher, Ralph Goings 1955-1972 taught at various universities and institutes in California. After starting out with simple abstractions in the style of Dubuffet in the 1950s and out of realistic image elements composed collage, found at the Pop artist James Rosenquist Art-reminiscent works in the early 1960s, Ralph Goings naturalistic to work with single figures. With the series of paintings "California Girls" of 1966, he finally got the amateurish attempts photography - the works show Ralph Goings' students, painted from his own photographic images - the starting point of his astonishing realism. In the following years was devoted to photo-realistic, extremely accurate painting by Ralph Goings especially the car in front of coffee shops or supermarkets. The reflections of light, the gloss of the surfaces and complex reflection effects are the real protagonists of the painting, Ralph Goings' superior technical perfection testified. Since 1974, the year in which Ralph Goings in the State of New York was moved, he integrated more frequently figures in his works, and it was followed in the late 1970s, a series of pictures with loading platforms of pickups. Especially famous were subsequently formed, often duplicated snapshot composed interior pictures of fast food restaurants and dinners, where once again the overwhelming realistic representation of the real subject is materiality. In preparation created Ralph Goings clear through-composed still life around with ketchup bottles and salt shakers, a task that has arrived in the vital work of old age in recent years to bloom. Ralph Goings, lives and works in Charlottesville, New York and Santa Cruz, California. Works by Ralph Goings can be seen in many major international museums such as the Guggenheim Museum and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Museum Folkwang in Essen, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago or the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art in Tehran .(Ketterer Kunst) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
