Discover the Abstract Expressionism Masterpiece from 1944

Arshile Gorky, a prominent Armenian-American painter, is known for his significant influence on Abstract Expressionism. One of his most renowned works, "One Year the Milkweed", was created in 1944 and embodies the essence of this art movement. This captivating painting is part of our collection at WahooArt.com.

Background and Inspiration

"One Year the Milkweed" was inspired by a personal event in Gorky's life, as his oldest son returned home with a mysterious new wife. The painting reflects the emotional turmoil and uncertainty that followed this unexpected turn of events.

Abstract Expressionism Style

Abstract Expressionism, which emerged in the United States after World War II, is characterized by spontaneous and subconscious creation methods. Artists like Gorky combined the emotional intensity of German Expressionism with radical visual vocabularies from avant-garde European schools such as Futurism, Bauhaus, and Synthetic Cubism.

Gorky's Impact on Abstract Expressionism

Arshile Gorky is considered a pioneer of Abstract Expressionism. His lyrical abstraction work laid the foundation for two generations of American artists, and his mature paintings like "The Liver is the Cock's Comb" (1944), "One Year the Milkweed" (1944), and "The Betrothal II" (1947) foreshadowed Abstract Expressionism. Gorky's contributions to American and world art are immeasurable.
