Mr. Goodman's remarkable talent to paint a portrait of an interior as lush, dramatic, grander than grand was clearly sought after by a legion of society's most celebrated style icons. Like the American painter John Singer Sargeant, Mr. Goodman's confident handling of paints thrusts the viewer into a world of impossible glamour. Environments that boasted the highest ceilings,gleaming marble floors, heavy gold frames,crystal ornaments, rare fabrics covering museum worthy pieces of furniture and forests of exotic plants all bathed in the most dramatically dappled sunlight easily, happily, transports the viewer to a dreamy never never land.We're talking rooms dressed to impress and then some!Homes belonging to high-style mavens like screen goddess-Greta Garbo,society designer- Bill Blass and the boy-crazy shutterbug who eroticized the male form in the public imagination, Mr. Bruce Weber. There's a history lesson here of decorating styles through the mid 20th century of both public and private settings. But the strength of the book is the spectacular painting technique and the rich, romantically luxurious point of view of the gifted artist, Mr.Goodman. In the 21 century world thats devoid of any masterful illustrations in the popular press, to see such skilled, dreamy, visionary work is a special treat indeed.A fabulous book. You will only wish there were more paintings! The only reason it escaped 5 stars is that there are inexplicably 6 pages devoted to one friend and, to me, these are the least interesting of the collection. In fact, they are rather weak and would normally have been jettisoned. Even so, it is such a beautiful collection of paintings that whether you like art or interior design, you really should get it.An incredibly unique talent! The beautiful reproductions are well displayed in the large book. I have been following Jeremiah for quite some time as my wife started in the fine art world solely due to his work. He was kind in offering my wife a few lines of encouragement as a young artist. I cherish the book for "art's sake" as much as for the personal meaning to my family.I wish I owned some of his work as art.Nice pictures but not too much of interest in the text. A great cover.An artist friend of mine had a copy which I perused and I just had to hsve my own copy. I am a professional ASID myself and worked for years with a Parsons graduate whose rendering style was very similar. Very nice work!Gorgeous ! An important and beautiful document of a time of real style !Love every page! Jeremiah is a rare talent and this book has quickly become a favorite. Its large format and hardback cover make it the perfect coffee table book as well. It sits front and center on my design studio's coffee table.I Love this stunning hard back book. It is in excellent condition and a very good price. Excellent value for money.Pleased with book and delivery.Bellissimo libro con delle immagini dipinte da favola...l'abbiamo scoperto in una libreria di Dumbo (New York ) è appena tirnati ordinato...
