About the Item
If you are looking for a powerful mid century modernist abstract with meaning, this could fit the bill. The oil on board is signed John M. Good and dated on a back board 1961. It is titled “Adoration of the Maji” and is surely an abstraction of one of the famous Renaissance paintings that has generally been copied over the last several hundred years but not often covered through abstraction.
The colors in this work are a pleasing palette of pinks, yellows, blues and various shades of red and magenta. The geometric forms seem to generally follow a historic Maji work but are interpreted in a modernist swirl of curved shapes. There is quite a lot of depth to the work and the artist was adept at paint application and compositional balance.
The artist, John M. Good, is most likely John Michael Good, born in 1940 in Oklahoma and for most of his life a Texas resident. The back board has a Waco, Texas framing label. John M. Good’s father, Welty Good, was a well known doctor in Waco. This is an attribution, but a very strong one, given historical records and notations on the back board. John M. Good died in Houston in 1991.
The painting is in very good recently cleaned and varnished condition. The colors are strong and the painting is an energetic composition of curvilinear forms and abstractions. It measures 22” x 28” and is housed in a high quality custom Hackman Frame (Columbus, Ohio) that shows off the painting very well. Overall framed dimensions are 28” x 34”, a commanding size. The frame is in likewise very good condition with only a few marks here and there that were done during the finishing process of the making of the frame.
