Hilton Kramer, the widely respected New York art critic, has described Tom Goldenberg as “one of the most accomplished painters on the current scene”.

In the words of Hilton Kramer, Tom brings to his landscapes a classical rather than a romantic or expressionist sensibility. He “has been drawn to the kind of terrain that lends itself to a classical order, the countryside of Dutchess County, north of Manhattan in New York State. With its carefully tended farms, rolling hills and spacious woodlands, this is anything but an untamed wilderness. If we sometimes glimpse a house or barn or some other man-made structure in these paintings, it remains subordinated to the rhythms and divisions of the land and the changing light of the seasons.

“His colors can give off the sense of warm, lazy sunshine we all know from country days in August or the bright light that belies the sudden chill of fall days. They are pure evocation”.
