Entries (RSS) Arshile Gorky: Modern Masters
|
Arshile Gorky was an unabashedly ambitious artist, “apprenticing” himself to a series of masters-most notably Cézanne and Picasso- in order to become, at last, the master of his own original style. His transformation of traditions into an utterly untraditional approach in turn inspired the Abtract Expressionists, who achieved a fame that Gorky died to young to enjoy. In a sensitive and illuminating text, Dr. Melvin P. Lader chronicles the artist’s life from his bittersweet youth in Armenia through his precocious development as a teacher to the long, purposeful evolution of his mature Expressionism. Price (ZA) R |
