Arshile Gorky
Born in Armenia during the Ottoman domination, he reunited with his father in 1920- who had already emigrated to the USA in 1908 to avoid military service -. His mother had already died of starvation the year before in Yerevan because of the Armenian genocide that began in 1915. In order to recreate his identity, he changed his original name (VostanikManougAdoian) to Arshile Gorky, pretending to be a Georgian noble and distant relative of the Russian Maxim Gorky.
In the early 1920s he attended the “New School of Design” in Boston where he had his first experience as a part-time teacher; at a later time and for more than 5 years, he taught at the “Grand Central School of Art” in New York, founded in 1923 by Edmund Greacen.
Initially influenced by Impressionism, he later painted post-impressionist paintings to get into surrealism going through cubist experiences too.Acclaimed as one of the most important American painters of the twentieth century, he had a fundamental influence on the current of Abstract Expressionism.
Among Gorky’s artistic connections there are those with Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock and Willem de Koonig. In 1940 Andrè Breton, after seeing his most recent paintings, especially “TherLiverIs the Cock’sComb”, which he declared to be one of the most important paintings ever produced in America, defined the artist as surrealist.
Private life: two daughters born of the marriage. Since 1946, Gorky had some misfortunes and a series of crises: his studio burned down, he underwent a colostomy, his wife had an affair with the Chilean architect and painter Roberto Matta, he broke his neck and the arm that he used to paint with was paralyzed during a car accident. His wife left him taking their daughters with her.At the age of 44, in 1948, the painter hanged himself in Sherman, Connecticut, where he is buried.
“The stuff of thought is the seed of the artist. Dreams form the bristles of the artist’s brush.”
