Arshak Gorky, mais conhecido como Arshile Gorky , foi um pintor surrealista armênio pioneiro e a influência mais importante sobre os membros do movimento expressionista abstrato.

Como tal, é especulado que suas obras são influenciadas pelo sofrimento e perda que o artista passou por conta do genocídio armênio. Wikipedia

Arshile Gorky

so sad. An artist paints because it is a challenge to him – it is like trying to twist the devil. If you overcome it, there is no sport left. I don't even like to talk about painting. It is impossible to talk about painting because I don't know what it is. If I knew what it was I would get out a patent and then no one else would be able to paint.
