Minetta Good

Minetta Good (1895-1946) was an American painter and printmaker.

Born in New York City, Good studied at the Art Students League of New York with F. Luis Mora, and received training from Cecilia Beaux. For much of the 1920s and 1930s she lived in Califon and Freehold, New Jersey. In 1932 she received the Eloise Egan Prize for best landscape painting, given by the National Association of Women Painters and Sculptors. She was one of the founders of the Salons of America, and exhibited widely throughout the United States. During the Great Depression she produced work for the Works Progress Administration as well.[1] This included two murals for post offices in Dresden, Tennessee, and St. Martinville, Louisiana. Both may still be seen today, the former in its original location and the latter in a new post office building.[2]

Good is represented by examples of her prints in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago,[3] the Illinois State Museum,[4] and the David Owsley Museum of Art Ball State University.[5] Her 1935 painting At the Country Auction is owned by the Newark Museum.[6]
