"There is always a small shock of wonder and surprise when confronting a Goings we are continually struck anew not only by the clarity of his style and the effectiveness of the illusion, but also by that combination of total artistic mastery brought to bear on a commonplace subject matter that infuses these works with their unique energy and appeal. His blatantly straightforward depictionsare remarkable for their exquisite detail and breathtaking verisimilitude, but they are also intrinsically modern in style as well as content. In Goings's [works] we find a perfect marriage of subject and sensibility, which enables him to capture more than any other artist of his generation, both the physical reality and spiritual essence of America" (L. Chase, Ralph Goings, New York, 1988, p. 7).
