About the Item

Joe Goode’s Untitled (Gunshot Series) (1981) is a striking exploration of destruction, transformation, and the physicality of mark-making. This lithograph, punctuated by actual gunshot impressions made by the artist, challenges traditional notions of printmaking and artistic intervention. As a Printer’s Proof (1/2) from a formal edition of 30, the work exemplifies Goode’s fascination with process, chance, and the intersection of violence and beauty. Measuring 23.25 x 14.75 inches, the piece carries a raw, visceral energy. The controlled composition of the lithograph is disrupted by the unpredictable, forceful punctures of the gunshots, making each print unique. The juxtaposition of delicate printed imagery with the aggressive, destructive act of shooting the surface highlights Goode’s engagement with materiality and impermanence. Goode, associated with the California Light and Space movement and Pop Art, often experimented with unconventional techniques to explore perception and the ephemeral nature of reality. Untitled (Gunshot Series) can be read as both an act of creation and destruction, confronting the viewer with a tension between intention and chance. By incorporating violence as an artistic gesture, Goode transforms the print into an evocative meditation on fragility, force, and the unpredictable forces that shape art and life.
