Rolland Golden

by John R. Kemp

"While his canvases portray a vast range of geographic sites from the rual south, the Appalachian mountains, the streets of New York, the wooded New England landscape, and the villages and meadows of southern France, Rolland Golden brings a certain sensitivity to his landscapes that only a southern artist with long ties to the land can bring. This collection chronicling his personal and artisitic journeys includes almost two hundred works created over four decades and two continents. Wheather he is protraying the decay of the French Quarter in his native New Orleans or capturing a golden afternoon while on a Provencal holiday, Rolland Golden's work depicts not only the view before him but also reflects the observer's emotional landscape." -- inside cover.
