One of the remarkable pioneers of Abstract Expressionism was Arshile Gorky, born Vosdanig Manoug Atoian, April 15, 1904, in the village of Khorgom in Van, Western Armenia (now inTurkey) died on July 21, 1948. In the 1940s.When Arshile Gorki presented one of his paintings to André Breton, but also more essentially “The Liver is the Cock’s Comb” (1944), Breton declared the work of the painter as being one of the most essential works carried out among Americans.
During the 1940s, Jackson Pollock’s radical style overturned the potential of all the contemporary arts that followed. To some extent, Pollock realized that the path to painting a painting was as essential as the painting itself.
Born in Bavaria in 1880, the famous abstract artist Hans Hofmann died on February 17, 1966. He was an American painter of German origin who was extremely active in the abstract expressionist movement.
