The artist and his Mother. 1926 - 1936www.tate.org.uk
Q. What do you get if you take a pinch of Cubism, a dash of Surrealism and a big slice of Miro and Picasso?
A. Arshile Gorky
This new show from Tate Modern is the first major retrospective of Arshile Gorky (1904-1948) to be seen in Europe for twenty years. Celebrating one of the most powerful and poetic American artists of his generation, "Arshile Gorky: A Retrospective" examines the extraordinary contribution of this seminal figure in Abstract Expressionism. The exhibition spans Gorky’s 25 year career and includes more than 150 paintings and works on paper, many of which have not been shown in public previously.
