“… several writers called Mr. Gorchov’s paintings ‘primitive,’
but he preferred ‘rudimentary.’ They took painting back to basics,
to a primal state and a set of motifs that changed only a little,
flirting with repetition but rarely succumbing to it.”
— Roberta Smith in The New York Times this afternoon.
Gorchov reportedly “died on Aug. 18 at his home in Red Hook, Brooklyn.”
