About Art Journalism and Liz Goldner
Contemporary Art Dialogue is an adventure in art journalism, combining first-rate reporting, thought provoking text and dialogue with a unique online gallery.
- Artists benefit by exposure of their works, and by the opportunity to express their ideas about art and life.
- Visitors benefit by discovering quality content that precisely matches their search terms and their quests to know more about specific art movements such as Postmodern Art.
Contemporary Art Dialogue is about the people interviewed, the projects covered and the readers. Each page is written clearly, without over-simplifying the topic.
Visitors to the site can participate by using our interactive forum. This page also enables artists, journalists and others to build their own web pages when they provide content and a corresponding image.
Online Art Venue
Contemporary Art Dialogue combines an online art gallery with quality art journalism to produce an online art venue. We offer accessible quality art works, with a detailed description of the styles, techniques and movements for each art piece for sale. Our web pages on photography as art, postmodernism, abstract art and other art related matters shed light on our pages designed to pre sell art.
Our Artist Name List page links to individual pages, describing outstanding artworks for sale. On each dedicated blog page, buyers and others interested in art can dialogue with the artist.
About Liz Goldner
I write web pages that bring to life painters, sculptors and photographers; assemblage and performance artists; gallery and museum directors; curators and collectors; poets and musicians.
Working in art journalism, I am privileged to know a world infused with color, light, form, texture and the often-intense emotions of artists as translated onto canvas, photo paper, wood, clay or any material. I converse with those who draw inspiration from genres as diverse as the dada movement to abstract expressionism. They pay homage to these influences in their own works, filtering them through the prisms of their inner muses.
I began appreciating art as a teen, visiting the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Looking at seminal works by Monet, Picasso, Pollock and others opened my mind and heart to new worlds. Works by these and other artists were so filled with energy, vitality and creativity that they often uplifted my spirits. In time, learning to appreciate modern and contemporary art became my salvation.
Art Reviewing Gig
At first, I wrote about a variety of topics, not just those related to art journalism. In 2000, I became a docent at the Orange County Museum of Art. I then got a gig reviewing art. The yearlong docent training was intense, but did not prepare me to write about art. I guess the editor knew less about art than I did.
When first interviewing gallery owners and curators, I’d say, "I just got this gig, but I don't know much about the art you show." People were disarmed, but never alarmed. As I learned about the ever-evolving art world, I shared my journey with my readers.
I have visited hundreds of galleries and museums, met with thousands of artists, patrons, museum curators and directors and have published numerous articles and interviews on art, artists, entrepreneurs and celebrities.
I am not an expert. I am an explorer in the world of art. Join me on my travels discovering the ever-evolving world of contemporary art.
