"This book is a good place to study Gorky. Much of what has been said of Gorky in recent books is not backed up by Rosenberg. This book did much to revive Gorky's reputation. The profile here is about his rapid development. The part played by his intellect is especially important: modern art & traditional work.rosenberg summarizes his values.allusion, parody, quotation were important to him. They separated him from many painters in NYC."--Amazon

Description
"In the years following the end of the Second World War American artists discovered a radically form of expression. Initially denigrated as the 'spatter-and-daub' school of art, the movement quickly found a name--Abstract Expressionism--and a devoted band of admirers.
