Arshile Gorky: The Implications of Symbols

Harry Rand

Synopsis:
Harry Rand, in this reissue of his critically acclaimed study originally published in 1980, recounts Gorky's brief and troubled life and traces his artistic development from the early murals and other works painted during the Depression to his mature works of the 1940's and his death in 1948. All Gorky's major themes are touched on and his major paintings dealt with in some depth, with attention to the details of the individual works and frequently to the drawings and preliminary studies from which the paintings evolved. A concluding chapter reassesses Gorky's impact on the New York School in light of a new understanding of his aims and methods.
