praise from a top Abstract Expressionist enthusiast

Take a tip from Gorky, he always carried a small book or reproductions of favorite painters in his pocket. This is a good book to start this habit with the Grove series on modern artists.There is a Guston ,a Dubuffet an Arp in this series as well. Rosenberg knew most of the A.E. painters and Dekooning intimately so what he has to say about Gorky comes from a good source the Dekoonings (Bill and Elaine.)I re-read this book the other night and believe that it inspired me to keep painting.Harold brings out Arshiles absolute devotion to painting.His self-eduction in libraries was as intense as it was in museums.I have added some postcards and repros from magazines to my copy.If you love Gorky , you are lucky to get a copy of this book
