Arshile Gorky: Goats on the Roof - A Life Through Letters and Documents
Arshile Gorky & Matthew Spender
Softcover |Â 21.8 x 3 x 15 cm | 512 pp
Ridinghouse | 2022 | 9781905464258
This publication provides an intimate portrait of the Armenian-American painter Arshile Gorky (c.1904–1948) whose paintings proved transformative to twentieth-century art in the US and beyond.
Shaped by his experience of fleeing the Armenian Genocide, Gorky filtered influences of Impressionism and Post-impressionism, producing vigorous compositions that were sometimes abstract, other times figurative or a mixture of the two.
In this volume, Gorky's gradual reception by the art world is seen obliquely through interviews and personal accounts, many of which are previously unpublished.
Accompanying the letters and key illustrations, an introduction by Gorky biographer Matthew Spender focuses on the artist's postwar influence and continued relevance.
