An immigrant from a small Armenian village in eastern Turkey,
Arshile Gorky (c. 1900-1948) made his way to the U.S. to become a
painter in 1920. Having grown up haunted by memories of his
alternately idyllic and terrifying childhood - his family fled the
Turks' genocide of Armenians in 1915 - he changed his name and
created a new identity for himself in America. As an artist, Gorky
bridged the generation of the surrealists and that of the abstract
expressionists and was a very influential figure among the latter.
His work was an inspiration to Willem de Kooning and Mark Rothko,
among others. Matthew Spender illuminates this world as he tells
the story of Gorky's life and career.
