Arshile Gorky, born Vostanik Manoug Adoian (April 15, 1904 – July 21, 1948) was an Armenian-American painter who had a seminal influence on Abstract Expressionism.

Gorky spent the last years of his life as a national of the United States and along with Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning, he's been hailed as one of the most powerful American painters of the 20th century.

The suffering and loss he experienced in the Armenian genocide had crucial influence on Gorky's development as an artist.

Quotes by Arshile Gorky (?)

“Abstraction allows man to see with his mind what he cannot see physically with his eyes....Abstract art enables the artist to perceive beyond the tangible, to extract the infinite out of the finite. It is the emancipation of the mind. It is an exploration into unknown areas.”

“We are part of the world creation, and we ourselves create nothing. Our knowledge allows us to make use of all the forces already in existence, our art to interpret emotions already felt. One big war, an epidemic, and we collapse into ignorance and darkness, fit sons of chimpanzees.”
― Arshile Gorky
