i dunno how unknown he really is but a lot of art students i know have never heard of him:

he channels a lot of post ww2 german guilt which makes for some pretty goddamn depressing stuff.

yes, similar to Dali but with nothing to hold onto cept horizons, supremely alien!

the delightfully nutty paul laffoley

 

 

i don't get this stuff at all, kinda religious, no?

 

 

im not sure what id call it. religious doesnt seem to be the right word. i admire the general weirdness and the obsessive attention to detail.

MOCA in L.A. has a great exhibit on Arshile Gorky right now. Obviously, Gorky is pretty well known and had a huge influence on the abstract expressionists, but there seems to be a heavy re-evaluation of his work at the moment.

 

Had no idea he'd grid out all of his compositions beforehand (and then create a veritable shit-ton of alternate versions); he actually sort of resisted the looser expressionism that he influenced. And the way he'd wear his influences on his sleeve and keep synthesizing and re-synthesizing those elements was pretty remarkable; they guy would keep reinventing himself (literally altering his own back story to fit the current work) in the most dubious ways, but everything, paradoxically, seems so deeply-felt. And of course, the guy was a mess and you can't help but see the personal narrative of genocide--> suicide spelled out in some of his stuff.

Diary of a Seducer, full-size and in person, was pretty devastating/disturbing, I thought:

Anyway, Gorky. Really well-known, but more interesting/enigmatic the more you look into him.

thank you.

i don't usually share my experiences (i don't really feel like calling them works) but i might open exceptions in a near future.
