Parcel #7

Betty Goodwin’s 1969 work, Parcel #7, exemplifies her engagement with Neo-expressionism, characterized by intense emotion and dynamic forms. Goodwin often explored human vulnerability through a Figurative approach, using mixed media techniques that combine drawing, printmaking, and collage. The title Parcel #7 suggests an object or container imbued with significance, inviting reflection on containment and disclosure. This piece reflects Goodwin’s interest in materiality and the corporeal, employing expressive marks and layered textures to evoke complexity beyond immediate representation. The artwork embodies the energy and psychological depth integral to Neo-expressionist practice.
