SHFAP presents Goodby Don’t Go a group exhibition of 17 objects by 14 artists whose work is seen in relation to the confusing times we are in. The exhibition title is lifted from the 1959 canvas by Bob Thompson, painted within two years of Gandy Brodie’s Butcher Boy, 1957, painted in Italy. Brodie’s 1957 painting shows a young Italian standing in overalls in front of an anti-nuclear sign. Thompson’s paints a man in a black hat (himself?) waving goodbye to a woman who runs naked through the landscape. The ambiguity of Thompson’s title seems to echo the contradictory mood of our moment, as we move from one individual or collective uncertainty to another. The two artists were friends beginning in the late 50s in Provincetown. Also included is a 1965 abstract portrait drawing of Brodie by Thompson.
