George Woodman

George Woodman on view in this collection of Remo Brindisi House Museum, Lido Di Spina, Italy.

We’re thrilled that RISD Museum has acquired a group of important works by Betty, Francesca, and George Woodman from the Foundation’s holdings through a combination of museum funds and Foundation gifts.

We are pleased to announce that this exhibition includes a selection of correspondence written between Betty, Francesca and George Woodman in 1978, as well as Francesca Woodman’s “Selected Video Works,” 1976-1978.

From his early abstract paintings to more recent painted photographs, color was a powerful and continuous thread in George Woodman’s work. Even as his focus shifted to black and white photography, Woodman never abandoned his interest in color, instead finding ways to create unexpected dialogues between and across media.

The catalogue for "Pattern, Crime & Decoration"—a two-part exhibition at MAMCO, Geneva and Le Consortium, Dijon —focuses on the work of artists associated with the Pattern and Decoration movement in the US. It includes paintings by George Woodman and wall-based ceramic sculptures by Betty Woodman.

George Woodman’s pattern paintings, which combine formal rigor with an approach to color influenced by his years in Italy, are featured in this exhibition of works focused on a decorative approach to art.

Paintings by George Woodman reflect his embrace of color and beauty along with a minimalist take on pattern in this exhibition of works which celebrate decorative and non-Western approaches to art.
