ARSHILE GORKY: HIS LIFE AND WORK
The result of over three decades of scholarship: the definitive biography of the man André Breton called ’the most important painter in American history’
Born in Turkey around 1900, Vosdanik Adoian escaped the massacres of Armenians in 1915 only to watch his mother die of starvation and his family scatter in their flight from the Turks. Arriving in America in 1920, Adoian invented the pseudonym Arshile Gorky – and obliterated his past. Claiming to be a distant cousin of the novelist Maxim Gorky, he found work as an art teacher and undertook a program of rigorous study, schooling himself in the modern painters he most admired, especially Cézanne and Picasso. His masterpieces influenced the great generation of American painters in the late forties, even as Gorky faced a series of personal catastrophes: a studio fire, cancer, and a car accident that temporarily paralyzed his painting arm.
A sympathetic, sensitive account of artistic and personal triumph as well as tragedy, Hayden Herrera’s biography is the first to interpret Gorky’s work in depth.
’Hayden Herrera has written the definitive biography of Arshile Gorky – lucid, persuasive, meticulous, intimate and refreshingly clear-eyed’
