Additional Details: “Cream Pie” by Ralph Goings is a 1987 offset lithograph from an edition of 500. Goings (1928–2016) was a leading figure in the Photorealism movement that redefined American painting in the late 1960s and ’70s. Known for his meticulously rendered diner counters, pickup trucks, and small-town storefronts, he transformed everyday Americana into precise, reflective meditations on observation and reality. Frustrated with abstraction, Goings turned to the camera and projected photographs onto canvas, insisting that copying them literally was both radical and honest. His hyper-accurate surfaces—chrome glints, glass reflections, gleaming pastries—blur the boundary between documentation and illusion. “Cream Pie” captures his delight in turning the ordinary into a visual challenge, revealing how technical mastery and subtle irony can coexist in one quintessential slice of American life.
