Jon Goodman

Jon Goodman (b.1953, USA) is a master printer and photographer. Considered one of the most important figures of the new era of gravurists, John Goodman was instrumental in rekindling interest in gravure printing in the United States. He studied printing in Switzerland before returning to the USA and continuing to study under Richard Benson. He worked with Aperture and the Paul Strand Foundation to produce photogravure portfolios of the early work of Paul Strand and Edward Steichen. In 1984, he opened the studio Jon Goodman-Photogravure, devoted to producing editions in photogravure for publishers, artists, photographers, and museums. He has printed the work of William Henry Fox-Talbot, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Joel-Peter Witkin. His photographic work can be found in many public collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris.
