  • 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.

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 regular gig reviewing art.

I looked back to my intensive docent training and to my lifelong pursuit looking at, reading about and discussing all kinds of art – as source material for my many reviews. As I explored the contemporary art world, I related my journey in my articles.

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 in a variety of publications on art, artists, entrepreneurs and celebrities.
