Arshile Gorky - American - (born Armenia), 1904 - 1948 Here you go Neil Bear. My favorite piece from the exhibit at the PMA: It's called: "Night-time, Enigma and Nostalgia" which was inspired by De Chirico's "The Fatal Temple" This version resembles De Chirico's composition more closely. There are many studies and versions. His ink and charcoal drawings are amazing and his life story is tragic. "Arshile Gorky was born Vosdanig Adoian around 1902 (there are differing accounts of the actual date) in Khorkom, in the Armenian province of Van, on the eastern border of Ottoman Turkey. As a young teenager, he witnessed the systematic ethnic cleansing of his people, the minority Armenians, by Turkish troops, who in 1915 drove him, his family, and more than a quarter million refugees out of Van on a harrowing eight-day march to the frontier of Russian Armenia. These traumatic events culminated in his mother's death from starvation in March 1919, during a winter of severe deprivation for the Armenian refugees." Quoted from Philadelphia Museum of Art article on Gorky. Here is a charcoal of his mother... based on THIS pic which was also on exhibit: His work was so versatile which is what was stunning to me! "The Liver is the Cock's Comb" (What a title eh?!) Anyhoo... Food 4 thought. That's what I be lookin at. I hope it inspires you somehow. Orchid
