Tom Goldenberg

Tom Goldenberg (born 1948) is an American artist, best known for landscape and abstract paintings. He has shown throughout the United States and internationally, and his accomplishment has been covered by The New York Times, The New Criterion, Art in America, Arts Magazine, Art & Antiques, and The New York Observer, among further publications. Critics often note his landscape works for their contemporary interplay of stylization and observation and situation for form more than verisimilitude, pointing to his beginnings in taking away as a foundation that underlies his ordered pictorial structures. In the vanguard 2010s, Goldenberg has returned to subtraction that sometimes suggests interior or "fictive" landscapes. The New Criterion editor and writer Roger Kimball described his paintings as leading "double lives, as memorable evocations of rural landscape and tightly organized arrangements of abstract planes of color." Hilton Kramer characterized his doing as "deeply mediated by aesthetic reflection" and classical rather than tender in feeling. Goldenberg and his wife, Michelle Alfandari, have lived in Sharon, Connecticut before 2016, after inborn based in New York City back the 1970s.
