Auszug: Arshile Gorky (pronounced , born Vostanik Manoog Adoyan; Armenian: ), (April 15, 1904? ¿ July 21, 1948) was an Armenian-born American painter who had a seminal influence on Abstract Expressionism. Arshile Gorky's The Artist and His Mother (ca. 1926-1936), Whitney Museum of American Art, New York City. Gorky made two versions of The Artist and His Mother, the other is in the National Gallery of Art Washington, DC. The painting has been likened to Ingres for simplicity of line and smoothness, to Egyptian Funerary art for pose, to Cézanne for flat planar composition, to Picasso for form and color..Gorky was born in the village of Khorgom, situated on the shores of Lake Van. It is not known exactly when he was born: it was sometime between 1902 and 1905. (In later years Gorky was vague about even the date of his birth, changing it from year to year.) In 1910 his father emigrated to America to avoid the draft, leaving his family behind in the town of Van. Gorky fled Lake Van in 1915 during the Armenian Genocide and escaped with his mother and his three sisters into Russian-controlled territory. In the aftermath of the genocide, Gorky's mother died of starvation in Yerevan in 1919. Gorky was reunited with his father when he arrived in America in 1920, aged 16, but they never grew close. At age 31, Gorky married. He changed his name to Arshile Gorky, in the process reinventing his identity (he even told people he was a relative of the Russian writer Maxim Gorky). The paintings of Armenian-American Arshile Gorky, a seminal figure of Abstract Expressionism, were often speculated to have been informed by the suffering and loss of the period. His The Artist and His Mother paintings are based on a childhood photograph taken in Van in which he is depicted standing beside his mother. Arshile Gorky's Portrait of Master Bill, 1929¿1936. Oil on canvas. This painting depicts Gorky's friend, Willem de Kooning who said Gorky "had an extraordinary gift for hitting the nail on the head;
