Art/Design Biography Current Affairs Fiction/Poetry ... Adventure NOURITZA MATOSSIAN Black Angel The Life of Arshile Gorky “A powerfully researched, thoughtful, and sensitive biography of a tragic hero of American painting, and one of 20th-century art’s most distinctive figures.” — Kirkus Robert Hughes wrote in The Shock of the New , “Gorky was the last major painter Breton claimed for Surrealism and the first Abstract Expressionist as well.” In this first full-scale biography of Arshile Gorky, Nouritza Matossian charts the artist’s tumultuous life from his childhood to his evolution into a key figure on the New York art scene of the 20s, 30s, and 40s to his last tragic years. In Black Angel Matossian uses for the first time Gorky’s original letters in Armenian and other new source material, writing with authority and insight about the powerful influence Gorky’s Armenian heritage had upon his painting. She also provides an informed and important critique of the entire body of Gorky’s major work. Arshile Gorky is one of the most mysterious of major twentieth-century artists. Born in Armenia as Manoug Adoian, he survived the Turkish genocide begun in 1915 and changed his name—and intimated he was related to the Russian writer—soon after his arrival in America in 1920. Handsome and deeply intense about art, Gorky cut a dramatic figure among the Abstract Expressionists, influencing a generation of painters who saw Gorky as their dark and disturbed angel, including de Kooning, Rothko, and Pollock. In his later years, as he lost his family, lost his studio to a disastrous fire, braved cancer, and received a devastating spinal injury, Gorky suffered heroically until he could endure no more, and he finally committed suicide by hanging at the age of 44. This “rare alchemy of scholarship, personal reflection, and historical testimony” (Atom Egoyan) sheds crucial new light on Gorky’s passionate life and monumental legacy.

New York Review of Books, March 09 2000, Leading article by Richard Dorment from Daily Telegraph ... Read a Transcript of BBC Radio 3 Interview of Nouritza Matossian "A profoundly moving, illuminating biography. Her visceral prose conveys the magical otherworldly aura of the village of Van where he grew up. Her book leaves us with the image of a man of monumental will and spirit, who embraced life with every fibre, and whose sufferings never undermined his integrity etiher as a man or as an artist." The Independent Robert Hughes wrote in the Shock of the New; "Gorky's life as a mature artist formed a kind of Bridge of Sighs between Surrealism and America; he was the last major painter Breton claimed for Surrealism and the first Abstract Expressionist as well." In this first full-scale biography of Arshile Gorky, Nouritza Matossian charts the artist's tumultuous life from his childhood to his evolution into a key figure on the New York art scene of the 20s, 30s nd 40s to his last tragic years. In Black Angel Nouritza Matossian uses for the first time Gorky's original letters in Armenian and interviews with his surviving relatives and friends and makes startling discoveries, writing with authority and insight about the powerful influence Gorky's Armenian heritage has upon his painting. She also provides an informed and important critique of the entire body of Gorky's major work.

(128.3 x 159.1 cm) R. T. Miller, Jr. Fund, 1952 Biography Provenance Exhibitions Literature ... Large Image A landscape of fecundity and mysterious connection emerges from the sinuous lines, organic forms, and oscillating ground of The Plough and the Song . Although the work appears to have been spontaneously created, it belongs to an ensemble of works that exemplify Gorky's systematic procedures of drawing and painting. The Oberlin painting is one of three surviving versions of The Plough and the Song , one of the most important themes of Gorky's later years. These three versions demonstrate the strikingly different paintings that Gorky was able to generate from a line composition by subjecting it to variations in hue, tonality, and mode of paint application: gliding the brush, dripping, staining, and rubbing down the canvas to reveal or obscure previous passages. The Oberlin canvas creates a visual field of great transparency, light, and apparent flux, while the other two works of the same title (The Art Institute of Chicago; and New York, collection Milton A. Gordon) project a relatively dense, textural environment filled with decisive contrasts. The most thinly painted of the three, the Oberlin work clearly shows Gorky's practice of staining the canvas with pigment thinned with turpentine, a technique which gave Gorky's brushwork and color modulations an airy, improvisational character.

Arshile Gorky Helene Pilibosian Water of the Flowery Mill Arshile Gorky Arshile Gorky's Lines Helene Pilibosian The lines are doing a folk dance with the flux of paint divining a picnic, sharing a tint, borrowing a yellow while red teems with a paired delicacy. A building for large hands, a circle for detained fame, a pencil without feint, a brush that bristled New York, a palette knife of careful scratch, a measure of Armenia, the orange pool of peace, the height of a communicator, swim of incalculable gift, mind bending kind, words aligning with vision, abstract expression his session: all of anguish in a single square. Mother-love donated what was there, for life has a way of milking deprivation; what was then was his to find and mend into flocks of sight, washed with oils that bent into colorful rinds as well as portraits of her.

Arshile Gorky's real name was Vostanig Adoian. Born in Khorkom, on the shores of Lake Van in eastern Turkey, he had a childhood dominated by nature, folklore and religion, marred only by the departure of his father for America. In 1915 Turkey decided to get rid of its Armenian minority. Throughout eastern Turkey, Armenian men were taken out of their villages and murdered, women and children driven on forced marches causing mass starvation. An estimated million people died. Gorky's family fled to Yerevan, now capital of Armenia.
