nairakev Posted June 18, 2001 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2001 In fact I made few mistakes.First.His name is : ARSHILE GorkyAnd he was the founder of "Abstract Surrealism" but not "action abstractionist". I don't know why I heard somewhere about the "action abstractionism". Well, skip it. May be my memory sucks. Here is more info about Arshile Gorky----------One of the most famous contemporary artists, the founder of Abstract Surrealism, Gorky was described by Andre Breton as the most important painter in American history. was born in Western Armenia, in the village of Khorgom on the banks of Lake Van. In 1915, Gorky (Vostanik-Manuk Adoyan) escaped Turkish massacres with thousands of others refugees by fleeing to Yerevan, where his mother died of famine. In 1920 he came to the US. His whole life in the new country, which ended in suicide, consisted of years of hard work and bitter struggle. Gorky made a thorough study of the art of ancient peoples, including the Armenians, and passed through all the stages in modern art until his efforts crystallized in his own personal style. Taking his artistic language to its limits and hiding in plants, flowers, a plough and peasant attire the deep meaning of life, Gorky achieved a superb harmony of idea and feeling. His work was a disturbing poem of great love and nostalgia, and the retrospective of his work in the Guggenheim Museum in 1984 was quite rightly described as Armenian-American art.--------- http://www.armeniaemb.org/artists/gorky.htm - http://206.105.2.72/cgi-bin/searchengine/a....cgi?find=gorky - http://www.artcyclopedia.com/artists/gorky...ky_arshile.html - http://artscenecal.com/ArticlesFile/Archiv...297/AGorky.html - http://encarta.msn.com/index/conciseindex/...m?z=1&pg=2&br=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ Posted June 18, 2001 Report Share Posted June 18, 2001 I don't think calling him "Abstract Surrealist" is correct. This is the first time I come across such characterization. He, admittedly, is the founder of Abstract Expressionism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it's exagerated!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nairakev Posted June 20, 2001 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2001 quote:Originally posted by alpha:In Guggenheim it says he is an abstract surrealist. I don't know the exact name of one of his pictures, but it had name Sochi in it, it's posted in one of the most visible places in Guggenheim. Do Gorky and Kondinsky belong to the same artistic movement? Whatever museum I have seen Gorky's pictures have always been the same salon as Kondinsky. I was wondering whether there is any relationship or not?I think Kandisky belongs to another stream of the same movement. And he has appeared in a more earlier stage.
