Book Reviews of Jeremiah: A Romantic Vision
Book Review: Divine!
Summary: 5 Stars
Be prepared to be delighted upon reading and taking in this gorgeous, lush, rich red book. It is a book to return to again and again, to be moved by color and form, to be elevated by the arrangements, and placements of objects, by scale, and the synergy that arises, seemingly effortlessly, but oh so exquisitely. We witness things: things of beauty, rare things, lovely things that come together through Mr. Goodman's brilliance.
Translated for us via Mr. Goodman's vision and imagination, these are places relatively unknown to most of us, and he brings them to us with a sense of mystery that seduces one with shadow, light and air. Color becomes a living, vibrating joyful Being. These rooms are obviously exclusive, special....but not by the 'things' that are placed in a room; or the money that buys these 'things', but through the artist's innate understanding, sensitivity, translation, of what makes these 'things' so very precious and unique. And at this point 'things' cease to be 'things'. That is the adventure of this book.
And I feel I must comment on that ridiculously beautiful figure, Mr. Goodman, on the cover. It is just a flat out brilliant photograph, sort of heartbreaking, yet just so evocative. A face like an archangel, a laughing angel right in the middle of a sparse winter field.
I always feel I've traveled abroad for a month or so after spending an afternoon with this book. Energized, more alive and awake, and ready to absorb more beauty.
Thank you Mr. Goodman.

Summary of Jeremiah: A Romantic Vision
While most can only imagine the lavish living quarters filled with fine china, dramatic drapery, and regal furniture that lie behind the iron-clad gates of the most exclusive addresses in America, Jeremiah Goodman has had the rare opportunity to enter and paint his impressions of the residences of the rich and famous for the past 54 years. Goodman?s expressive watercolors not only act as an archive of interior design for the second half of the 20th century, but also provide a glimpse into the artist?s unique ability to infuse a depiction of domestic space with a sense of drama and emotion second only to being there. In addition to making art based on the interiors, Goodman painted studies for rooms-to-be, creating the beautiful plans on which the rooms themselves would be based.Jeremiah: A Romantic Vision is a 208-page retrospective of Goodman?s career, with over 80 plates of Goodman?s work, photos and ephemera from his life, and reflections from Goodman himself. Over the span of his career, Goodman has made renderings of the homes of such influential icons as President Ronald and First Lady Nancy Reagan; legendary theatre personas Mary Martin, Sir John Gielgud, and Richard Rodgers; Baron and Baroness Philippe de Rothschild; jewelry designer Elsa Peretti; Greta Garbo; Cecil Beaton; Betsy Bloomingdale; the Duchess of Windsor; fashion designers Elsa Schiaparelli and Bill Blass; Vogue editor-in-chief and fashion icon Diana Vreeland; interior designers Billy Baldwin and Mario Buatta; and famed photographer Bruce Weber; in addition to illustrating rooms for House and Garden, The New York Times Magazine, Harper?s Bazaar, and Interior Design, a publication for which Goodman illustrated each month?s cover for 15 years. With an introduction by playwright Edward Albee, Jeremiah: A Romantic Vision offers a rare look at a true life of grandeur.
