Discuss Abstract Expressionism in Arshile Gorky’s Garden in Sochi.
2-3 Sentences

Here's my answer.

Explanation:

Abstract expressionism has a couple key characteristics that I would like to go over before analyzing this piece. Abstract expressionism is free and spontaneous. It's more so up to interpretation than it is something obvious. Physical characteristics of things are molded to fit certain expressive qualities, rather than just being pictured how they are. There is an emphasis on emotional expression, especially that that is personal to the artist. For example, in Gorky's Garden in Sochi, he was recreating a childhood memory. We see before us a picture of the emotion of the memory almost rather than the memory itself. His painting fits all the characteristics of abstract expressionism, and it is no doubt an example of it.
