Louis Goldfarb was born in Belgium in 21 April 1932. His early work rendered a classical style, but a change came when he studied with artist Andre Lhote. Goldfarb's paintings became more abstract, with hints of Cubism.
But to paint in the language of symbolism was not to his liking; personal reactions to nature, the nude body, and the elements of architecture became evident again later on in his work. His lush palette sets up a tension with his restrained paint handling, and this tension helps give his work the feeling of great mystery and vitality.
Landscapes, cityscapes and floral subjects are also among the interests of this versatile artist.
