marcia goldenstein

Marcia Goldenstein taught painting and drawing at the University of Tennessee between 1976 and 2013 and recently earned the position of Professor Emeritus. Throughout her career she received numerous research, travel and exhibition grants and awards and was the recipient of the Chancellor’s Excellence in Advising Award in 2006. Next to her extensive teaching experience, Goldenstein exhibited throughout the Southeast and her home state Nebraska. Her work is included in private and corporate collections all over the country.

STATEMENT

I approach landscape painting through composites of different times and places, constructed in such a way as to produce new, believable and striking situations. The aerial view of the land is paired with a spectacular evening sky that dominates with its dramatic forms and hues. Giving substance and structure to color-infused air and atmosphere is in contrast to the dwarfed panorama below the horizon. Where they meet becomes the heart of the work.

I value the combination of invention and reality, of abstraction and representation, of multiple views and approaches that continually provide me with refreshing opportunities for discovery and interpretation.
