American Photorealist artist,
Ralph Goings (born May 9, 1928), is best known for his noninterpretative, matter-of-fact paintings of transpositions of 35mm color slides "untouched by trope or deviation" of California banks, pick-up trucks and cars, coffee shop table tops and diners, and hamburger stands. The photograph {in which to be painted} intercedes between the subject and the act of describing it and serves to cancel "content" and emotional response. ~
