An intimate portrait of the artist, Gorky's gradual reception by the art world is seen obliquely through interviews and personal accounts – many of which are previously unpublished.
Accompanying the letters and key illustrations, an introduction by Gorky biographer Matthew Spender focuses on the artist's postwar influence and continued relevance.
