"The Liver is the Cock's Comb"
Arshile Gorky - Oil On Canvas - 186 x 249 cm
At WahooArt, we are proud to offer a stunning reproduction of Arshile Gorky's iconic painting, 'The Liver is the Cock's Comb'. This captivating piece exemplifies Abstract Expressionism and showcases Gorky's unique approach to color and form.
A Blend of Personal History and Visual Puns
'The Liver is the Cock's Comb' (1944) contains many veiled references to Gorky's life and history, while it simultaneously creates visual puns and double meanings that function on many levels. The liver is often referred to in ancient texts as the center for passion, instead of the heart. The 'cock's comb' is both the headdress, and a kind of feathered genitalia for the figure on the right, becoming a dual sign of the mind and body, both of which are incorporated in the process of painting.
A Testament to Gorky's Artistic Mastery
Measuring 186 x 249 cm, this oil on canvas masterpiece is housed at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, United States. The painting demonstrates Gorky's exceptional ability to merge personal experiences with abstract concepts, resulting in a powerful visual narrative that resonates with viewers even today.
