The Many Worlds of Arshile Gorky

There are many Gorkys. The Gorky of portraits and abstractions. The laughing, weeping, dancing, fighting Gorky of doubts and confidence. The Gorky who knocks out opponents on New York streets and saves bird chicks in Armenia. The Gorky of death marches holding the limp body of his mother who has died in the Turkish genocide of the Armenians. Lastly, the epic Gorky who, battling the knights of fire, cancer, injuries and marital problems, turns his sword against modern society and dangles by the neck from a rope on a Connecticut hillside, seeking his native land, "The dot of birth, the dot of birth." The many worlds of Arshile Gorky is a documentary montage containing the largest body of original Gorkian source materials yet assembled in a single volume, the product of 25 years of research conducted by Professor Mooradian. Indispensable to understanding Gorky and his art.
