Born in 1937 in Oklahoma City, OK, he attended the Chouinard Institute in Los Angeles. In 1962, he was included alongside Ed Ruscha, Andy Warhol, Jim Dine, and Wayne Thiebaud in the historic exhibition “New Painting of Common Objects” at the Pasadena Art Museum. Goode’s works are in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., among others.
