In the life of Arshile Gorky
The whole life1925–1931
Teaches at the Grand Central School of Art
Edmund Greacen of the Grand Central Art Galleries asked Gorky to teach at the Grand Central School of Art in New York, and he stayed there until 1931; his notable students included Revington Arthur. Other accounts say he taught there from 1926.
1928
Under Picasso’s influence
While in the early years of his studies Gorky had been under Cézanne’s influence, from 1928 he was under the influence of Picasso.
1930
Group exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art
Works by the members of the group to which Gorky belonged were shown at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
1930s
Collaboration with Davis, de Kooning and Graham
In the 1930s Gorky worked closely with Stuart Davis, Willem de Kooning and John Graham.
1931
First solo exhibition in Philadelphia
Gorky’s first solo exhibition took place at the Mellon Galleries in Philadelphia.
1931
Works sent to the Downtown Gallery
Gorky sent a group of works priced from $100 to $450 to the Downtown Gallery in New York. Abby Aldrich Rockefeller bought his Cézannesque still life “Fruit” from the gallery; Gorky may have been introduced to its owner by Stuart Davis, who exhibited there regularly.
