Description

Sargis Vahagn’s (Pataputyun) “Arshile Gorky” is a biographical novel that presents the life of the Armenian-American painter Vostanik Adoian. Exile, personal love, separations, poverty, marriage, fame, illness, tragic suicide… Gorky lived it all—the life of a defiant fatalist.
Although the novel is written with literary artistry, it is grounded in factual data.
This is an intellectual novel in which the life and work of Gorky depict American art of the era. The pages of the book bring to life—and sometimes see the disappearance of—titans of painting, literature, philosophy, and art criticism who were part of the painter’s bohemian circle. Arshile Gorky’s life was so intense that it is impossible to close this book without deep emotion.
