Ron Gorchov – (April 5,1930-August 18, 2020)
Ron Gorchov, Beloved Painter of Stripped-Down Canvases, Is Dead at 90
Ron Gorchov’s work ‘Victory’ was purchased at Sotheby’s auction in New York City for $118,750 in 2019.
By stretching linen over curved stretcher bars, Gorchov achieves unique, concave surfaces which recall Bronze Age shields or sarcophagus masks. “I fell in love with Matisse’s way of using very little paint. I liked the elegance of using thin paint,” he explained.
