fun fact:
digital description:
Split Level belongs to the House series of paintings Goldberg created during 1957–60, in which densely robust brushwork coalesces into and around a dark rectangular form. Despite its architectural inspiration, the painting is fundamentally a record of the artist’s instinctive feelings rather than a specific image.

Despite its architectural inspiration, the painting is fundamentally a record of the artist’s instinctive feelings rather than a specific image. As Goldberg once stated, “Art making is like being badly sunburned: you’re peeling, you’re trying to get the layers of the world off you to get to yourself.”
