The National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR) will
host a special program entitled "New Perspectives on the Life and Art of
Arshile Gorky" on Saturday, October 10, at 7:00 p.m. at the NAASR
Center, 395 Concord Ave., Belmont, MA. This event will be co-sponsored
by NAASR and the Whistler House Museum of Art in Lowell, MA.
The fall of 2009 is proving to be an extraordinary time for anyone
interested in the life and art of Arshile Gorky. Several significant
publications are forthcoming and two major exhibitions of his work-one
currently on display at the Whistler House Museum in Lowell, Mass., and
the other opening in October at the Philadelphia Museum of Art-will
provide opportunities to become more familiar with this key figure in
20th century art.
The NAASR program will feature presentations by three noteworthy figures
on the still-enigmatic artist. Distinguished clergyman, Armenologist,
and translator Rev. Father Krikor Maksoudian has collaborated with Gorky
biographer Matthew Spender (From a High Place: A Life of Arshile Gorky)
on the soon-to-be-published Arshile Gorky: A Life Through Letters and
Documents. Spender, a noted sculptor and writer, is married to Gorky's
daughter, artist Maro Gorky. Sara Bogosian is the chair of the
recently-opened Arshile Gorky exhibition, Drawings and Paintings by
Arshile Gorky, at Lowell's Whistler House Art Museum.
The NAASR Center is located opposite the First Armenian Church and next
to the U.S. Post Office. Ample parking is available around the building
and in adjacent areas. The lecture will begin promptly at 7:00 p.m.
More information about the lecture is available by calling 617-489-1610,

Concord Ave., Belmont, MA 02478.
