Gorky was born in #Armenia, but was forced to flee #Turkish persecution, and in 1920 settled in the USA. His early work was strongly influenced by Pablo #Picasso and the European Surrealists. In the summer of 1942, Gorky spent three weeks in Connecticut making drawings from nature. He went on to produce a series of paintings that refer to natural forms. In this painting, amorphous shapes and drips of liquid paint suggest the fluidity of the #waterfall. ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Arshile Gorky (c. 1902-1948) Waterfall 1943 Oil paint on canvas 153.7 x 113 cm ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #arshilegorky #gorky

‘Arshile Gorky: 1904 – 1948’, the first Italian retrospective of the seminal 20th century artist, will be staged during next year’s Venice Biennale. In May 2019, Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia will present a comprehensive survey exhibition of the work of Arshile Gorky at Ca’ Pesaro- International Gallery of Modern Art. – The exhibition will examine the stages of Gorky’s remarkable career from his earliest works during the 1920s, where his interrogation of Cézanne’s compositions permeated his approach to painting, through to the culmination of his autodidactic study of modern masters and movements, to the point where the elements from these various stimuli explicitly coalesced into Gorky’s singular and powerful vision. Curated by Gabriella Belli and Edith Devaney, ‘Arshile Gorky: 1904 – 1948’ will include masterpieces on loan from significant international institutions including Tate (@tate), Whitney Museum of American Art (@whitneymuseum), Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza (@museothyssen), National Gallery of Art (@ngadc), and Centre Pompidou (@centrepompidou). – In addition to creating a hugely important and distinctive body of work, Gorky’s unique vision positioned him as one of the main protagonists in the unfolding of the Abstract Expressionist movement. Gorky’s unique understanding and assimilation of differing movements and approaches confirmed his position as a pivotal figure, influencing many artists, namely Willem de Kooning, who acknowledged Gorky as a driving force among painters, as well as Cy Twombly, Helen Frankenthaler and Jack Whitten. #ArshileGorky #SurveyExhibition #Gorky #ModernMaster #AmericanArt #Abstraction #AbstractExpressionism #VeniceBiennale2019 #CaPesaro #VeniceBiennale 1.

Arshile Gorky - "We are part of the world creation, and we ourselves create nothing. Our knowledge allows us to make use of all the forces already in existence, our art to interpret emotions already felt. One big war, an epidemic, and we collapse into ignorance and darkness, fit sons of chimpanzees." ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Arshile Gorky (c. 1902-1948) Untitled 1941 graphite and gouache on paper 35.6 x 30.5 cm ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #arshilegorky #gorky
