Artist’s Intent NoteNote
The artist’s interest in the role of special clothing to signal celebration is evidenced in The Children’s Party, through which Goldberg expresses an appreciation of international cultures indicative of his time. Suggesting a youthful world of play, eight figures appear to float in a dreamlike space, their shapes contoured using incised white lines. This work feature the artist’s use of high-key colors and vigorous brushwork that build upon Fauvist precedents.Create Date
