What did it mean for an artist who named himself after a Russian writer and pledged allegiance to Picasso to find his own voice in New York?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEmbracing the metropolis as a locus of modernity and liberation, Gorky sought to reconcile it with his own cultural and historical inheritance. Bound together in a relationship of mutual influence, Gorky would come to shape the history of New York painting, just as the city had shaped his own work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEdited by Ben Eastham, this richly illustrated book combines fascinating new insights into Gorky's work with broader reflections on his status as an immigrant artist. It includes essays by writer Adam Gopnik, art historians Tamar Kharatishvili, Christa Noel Robbins, and Emily Warner, alongside a meditation on Gorky's enduring influence by painter Allison Katz, and WPA-era images of New York by Berenice Abbott.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47430025445612,"sku":"9783907493069","price":78.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783907493069.jpg?v=1774559815","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/arshile-gorky-new-york-city-9783907493069","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
