About
this Print Paul Goodnight is known for his somber palette and figural works. His culture is an important inspiration- "An enlightening thing that I can pass on." "I am culturally motivated by my own experiences," says the Boston-based artist, "Places I’ve been, Places I’m going." Goodnight has traveled throughout the Caribbean, to Central America ("especially Nicaragua"), southern and western Africa, Japan, Russia, the U.K., throughout the U.S, and Brazil. Goodnight was born in Chicago in 1946. His mother and he moved to Connecticut and then to Boston when he was a boy. "I always drew," he said. "I was always able to express myself through drawing." He says he started painting "out of necessity, in order to communicate." Because of the trauma he experienced as a soldier in Vietnam, he was unable to speak upon his return to the United States Art helped him to regain his speech. He first attended a small community art school in Vesper, Georgia, and eventually graduated with a B.A. from Massachusetts College of Art in 1974.
