“The paintings of Leonard H. Goldenson constitute another example of diversion in an important career. In having chosen art as an avocation, he joins a distinguished group of world leaders, including Winston Churchill, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and John F. Kennedy, who found diversion, satisfaction, pleasure, even therapy in following the path of a non-professional painter.
Goldenson evolved from painting works of nostalgia, still lifes and personal dialogues to a very natural and current expression: communications. He moves beyond the lovely view the pretty still life … His art is a commentary that helps one see another side of society.”
