About this title

From Library Journal:

This solid, authoritative presentation of Gorky's pivotal art of the 1940s accompanies an exhibit of paintings and drawings showing this year at the National Gallery in Washington, D.C., as well as Buffalo and Fort Worth. Biographical and art-historical essays by Auping, a Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth curator, as well as Dore Ashton and Matthew Spender summarize the critical consensus of Gorky, placing him between Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism in the development of 20th-century art. Excellent reproductions of the paintings and drawings in the show are supplemented by close-ups from several paintings, photographs of Gorky, and selections from Gorky's letters. While not a comprehensive or groundbreaking work, this volume is an excellent summary of or introduction to Gorky for both general and informed lay readers.?Kathryn Wekselman, M.Ln., Cincinnati
