Biographical/Historical Note Shifra Goldman is a pioneer in the study of Latin American Art and a social art historian. Part of her life’s work has been to “deflect and correct the stereotypes, distortions, and Eurocentric misunderstandings that have plagued all serious approaches to Latino Art history since the - Page 2 - 50s” (Dimensions of the Americas, Goldman 1996, pgs. 36, 37). Goldman has contributed to her field both as a prolific writer and as an activist for Latino Art. Goldman was born in 1926 in New York and was raised by her Russian Jewish parents. In the late 1940s she attended school at UCLA and was involved in the civil rights movement. She was a member of the Civil Rights Congress of Los Angeles until she left to have a child with her Mexican American husband. Goldman was able to go back to UCLA while in her mid 30s to finish her undergraduate work; she received a B.A in art in 1963. She then studied art history at Cal State Los Angeles were she received a Masters in Art History in 1966. She has taught at numerous colleges in the Los Angeles area. In 1971 she started teaching art history at Rancho Santiago College in Santa Ana, CA. In 1968, she began the campaign to preserve the 1932 Siqueiros mural in Olvera Street, Los Angeles, and in 1971 approached Siqueiros for a new mural derived from the original. He agreed but the plan was thwarted by the artist’s death in 1974. Goldman has major essays in a number of anthologies, and has published in Europe, Latin America and the United States. Her work can be found in catalogues, encyclopedias, and dictionaries, as well as newspapers and magazines like La Opinion, Artweek, Aztlan (California), Arte en Colombia/Art Nexus (Bogotá), Art in America, Art Journal (New York), New Art Examiner (Chicago), Art History (London), Casa de las Américas (Cuba), Plástica (Puerto Rico), Plural (Mexico), Studies in Popular Latin American Culture (New Mexico), Tendenzen (Munich),Third Text (London), and many more. Goldman has lectured widely on many aspects of Latin American and modern art. In 1996, her book Dimensions of the Americas, was granted the Hubert Herring Award for high achievement by the Pacific Coast Council on Latin American Studies.
