Synopsis:
Himself a sculptor as well as writer, Spender recounts the life of Armenian-born abstract painter Gorky (1904-48), who was at the center of the New York art scene from the 1920s to the 1940s. He describes the influence of his childhood and headstrong mother, his determination to be a painter, his protean personality, his growing reputation, and the stresses that led him to take his own life.
