Radical Realism I (1970)
An early 1950s Ford F100 truck provided Photorealist artist Ralph Goings with a handsome still-life element to anchor his composition in Paul’s Corner. The truck’s smooth line and muscular body, the essence of machine-crafted form, were 20 years old when this image was made.
