New York City Artist Lloyd Goldsmith

The Artist Lloyd Goldsmith

Drawings on Paper

Lloyd Goldsmith - An artist seeking a one on one relationship with the urban landscape of New York City In any show of nine largely unknown artists, some start with an unfair advantage. Judson Rosebush, for instance: there's a name that deserves to go places! And there is great charm in a drawing by Roesbush, with it delicate gridwork, its astute use of numbers here and there and its dancing, aerated penmanship. I felt, likewise, a professional affinity with Allen Ruppersberg's nine large drawings of folded copies of named newspapers from out of town.

But the great prize in this very good exhibition is the work of Lloyd Goldsmith. When Mr. Goldsmith walked into the Museum of Modern Art with one panoramic drawing of Brooklyn they bought it almost before he could untie his portfolio. Another such panorama is in this show: with its beauty and security of touch, its antlike perseverance, and its completely democratic approach to every kind of object, plain or fancy, battered or pristine, it is in its oblique way a lesson in life.
