Although a relative newcomer to the Oxford Gallery, Connecticut artist
Barbara Goodspeed has enjoyed a considerable national reputation for
several decades. A member of many professional organizations, including
the Salmagundi Club and the American Artists Professional League, and
a recipient of numerous awards, Barbaras work has been recently
represented in the Rockport publications, The Best of Oil, and
The Best of Landscape.
Barbaras
paintings strike a fine balance between representation and painterly
artiface. Rooted firmly within the New England landscape tradition,
her scenes are places of both isolation and protection. It is not physical
topography but mans relation to the land which is the proper subject
of Barbara Goodspeeds art. Barbara is listed in Whos
Who in American Art, Whos Who in America, and in the Dictionary
of International Biography. |
