| | Gorky's work during the 1930s was divided between drawing and painting. | | | The American painter Arshile Gorky (1905-1948) created a personal language of form dealing with the iconography of the unconscious that enabled him to extend surrealism in the 20th century. | | | Harold Rosenberg, Arshile Gorky: The Man, the Time, the Idea (1962), is a valuable critical interpretation of Gorky and his paintings but the illustrations are poor. |

| | Artist Profile: Arshile Gorky, Abstract Expressionist |
| | Gorky was one of the European artists whose work influenced their thinking and manner of painting, in varying degrees for the painters (probably de Kooning was most influenced by Gorky). | | | Gorky was also influenced by the painterly abstraction of Wassily Kandinsky, who is credited with painting one of the first two completely abstract paintings, in 1910. | | | Gorky, who had no formal art training, studied art by looking at other artists, such as Cezanne and Picasso, and trying to paint like them. |

| | Gorky worked from carefully prepared drawings, selecting the most telling from the wealth of free forms that sprang from his pen, and rearranging them into a more cohesive order by adding patches and streams of richly modulated color. | | | Destined to become an artist of great inner vision, whose work was to mark the transition between European Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism, Gorky was a lonely, despairing man, whose early work was concerned with absorbing the ideas of Cezanne and Picasso. | | | The style that Gorky developed was the first to combine abstract painterliness with surrealist motifs. |

| | Arshile Gorky |
| | (Manny Silverman Gallery, West Hollywood) One of the pleasures to be derived from this intimate show of Gorky drawings is to be reacquainted with the tremulous tentativeness that abstract expressionism introduced into drawing and painting in the post-World War II years. | | | Contemporary critics quickly capitalized on this connection: agony, anxiety, "authenticity" were the qualities most in demand in the art of the time, and, one might add, in the lives of the artists. | | | About three-quarters of these are from the mid-thirties, and these testify to the enormous, almost stifling influence which Picasso's synthetic cubism exerted on Gorky's generation of European and American artists. |

| | Recognized as one of the progenitors of Abstract Expressionism, Arshile Gorky was one of the first artists to liberate the formal elements of painting. | | | The influence of Picasso's treatment of anatomical form is also evident in Gorky's extreme simplification of the facial features, which gives his subject a mysterious, enigmatic countenance. | | | While his large oils played a major role in the formation of his abstract style, Gorky's drawings played an equally vital part in his artistic evolution. |

| | Maybe the fixation of both Ingres and Picasso on women matched his own—from the decade he spent on his portrait alongside his mother to the unraveling of his marriage that preceded his suicide. | | | Gorky's paintings taught a generation to see Surrealism not as a coloring book of the mind, but as a process of discovery. | | | Like painters from the Renaissance to Thomas Eakins, Gorky finished his most famous full-scale drawing by overlaying a grid, for transfer to canvas. |

| | His studio barn burned down; he underwent a colostomy for cancer; his neck was broken and his painting arm temporarily paralyzed in a car accident; and his wife of seven years left him, taking their children with her. | | | During the early 1920s he was influenced by impressionism, although later in the decade he produced works that were more postimpressionist. | | | In letters to his sisters Gorky often described moods of melancholy, and expressed loneliness and emptiness, nostalgia for his country; and bitterly and vividly recalled the circumstances of his mother's death. |

| | Based on a photograph taken in Van in 1912, this subject was to preoccupy the artist for almost twenty years. | | | In this series of about six works he continued his biomorphic motifs but presented them in a more poetic and fantastic manner, having broken loose from the constraints of a strict Cubist grid. | | | Central to Gorky's development was a double portrait that he began soon after his arrival in New York City, showing himself at age eight standing next to his seated mother. |
