The
artist, born in the Ukraine in 1905, came to America with his
parents in 1917 after having been a member of the roving band
of children dislocated during the Kerensky revolt. Golubov studied
at the National Academy of Design, and began exhibiting in 1929.
He has long been recognized as a skillful abstractionist who gives
to modern symbolism and fantasy a strange and haunting quality.
With disciplines and craftsmanship absorbed in his traditional
training he expresses his excitement about nature without being
naturalistic, and conveys universal realities, although not resorting
to realistic treatment. In his moody figure paintings, semi-abstract
figures, shadowy, yet of basic solid structure, composed monumentally
to convey a deep religious feeling and his convictions concerning
the nobility of man. In these especially he materializes personal
emotions arising from the relationship between outer and inner
worlds. |
