Note du spécialiste

“The swelling, rounded forms found in these late drawings, which abruptly collapse into curving and folded planes suggestive of leaves, petals, or grass, have convinced many commentators that Gorky’s imagery must have a basis in natural forms” (J. Lee, Arshile Gorky: The Power of Drawing, New York, 2003, p. 63).
