One Year the Milkweed 1944

"One Year the Milkweed" is an abstract painting created in 1944 by Armenian-American artist Arshile Gorky. It is known for its organic shapes and vibrant colors, evocative of nature. The work reflects Gorky's engagement with Surrealism and biomorphic abstraction, suggesting a landscape or an internal world with a sense of fluidity and movement. The painting is housed in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., and exemplifies Gorky's unique style, which paved the way for Abstract Expressionism.
