The 1972 date places this work at the very heart of the Photorealist movement's emergence: Goings, alongside Robert Bechtle, Chuck Close, Audrey Flack, and Richard Estes, was redefining what American painting could be, insisting that the ordinary — a diner booth, a pickup truck, a salt shaker — was worthy of the most rigorous artistic attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoings built his practice on projecting 35mm color slides onto canvas and rendering them with uncanny precision in oil. His prints carry that same quality of hyper-attentive observation — an America seen without nostalgia or irony, simply as it is, luminous in its ordinariness. As fellow Photorealist Chuck Close said of him, his \"methodology — the way he could make oil paint echo the veracity of a photograph — was nothing short of miraculous.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ralph Goings (American, 1928–2016)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paul's Corner Cushion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1972\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original lithograph\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Signed and numbered in pencil; edition of 200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toning and moisture marks to edges.
