Kim Theriault reviews the life and work of the Armenian survivor and artist, Arshile Gorky through discussind her book, Rethinking Gorky which is truly a “breakthrough” publication. It firmly places Gorky as both an artist of note and sage who tells us, in vivid images, about the brutal impact of genocide on the survivor. This book provides scholars of art history and genocide studies a foundation for understanding Gorky and his art in the right context—a survivor of the Armenian Genocide.
