Om verket
Born to a peasant family in Turkish Armenia, Arshile Gorky was deeply affected by the terrible hardships and poverty of his first 15 years. He immigrated to the United States in 1920, after witnessing his mother’s death from starvation. Once established in America, his artistic style rapidly moved from formal, classical depiction toward abstraction.
