Arshile Gorky “To my Mougouch (dedicated to Agnes Magruder),” 1946
Tonight is the opening reception for suggestion, that is the dream: Arshile Gorky and a selection of contemporary drawings at Outlet Fine Art from 7-10pm.
“To name an object is to suppress three-quarters of the enjoyment,” wrote the poet Mallarmé, “…suggestion, that is the dream.” Mallarmé’s statement, although originally conceived as literary concept, was quickly adopted by a younger generation of artists and musicians who were similarly rejecting the conventions of Naturalism. Mallarmé’s concept inspired a new way of seeing and interpreting art and launched the Symbolism movement in the late 19th Century.
This special loan exhibition, held at Outlet Fine Art, features a rare drawing by Arshile Gorky from 1946, and positions the work as a source of discussion along side the work of over thirty contemporary artists including Gregory Amenoff, William Anastasi, Judy Dolnick, Hermine Ford, Margrit Lewczuk, Michael Prodanou, Joan Snyder, and Joan Witek.
