Über das Werk
In July 1943, Arshile Gorky vacationed in the foothills of the Appalachians, at the Virginia farm of his wife’s parents. There he devoted himself to drawing outdoors, developing a vocabulary of leaf, seed, and pod shapes from the lush mid-summer landscape. Drawn with obvious passion, this work, with its essentially joyous riot of color, provides little indication of the suffering and despair of Gorky’s last years, which eventually caused him to take his own life.
