<div><font face=Aptos size=3 color=black>Michael Corinne West’s story is a significant one. A prolific painter and poet at the forefront of the Abstract Expressionist movement, West is the artist least likely to be acknowledged as standing among the first generation with the core group of male artists. Placed in a confrontational role as one of the few women defying a male-dominated mythology, she shifted to gestural painting in the mid-1940s, often laying the canvases on the floor and working like Jackson Pollock. Her earliest work in black and white predates Franz Kline’s by several years. It included “<em>Black and White” </em>of 1947, which impressed Clement Greenberg, who was never inclined to dish a gratuitous compliment. Despite the changing tides of art and fashion, her devotion to mysticism, inner emotional states, and the subconscious as they relate to Abstract Expressionism continued unfazed and steady.  </font></div><br><br><div> </div><br><br><div><font face=Aptos size=3 color=black>“<em>The Day After</em>,” painted in 1963, is West’s visceral, abstract response to a pivotal moment in American history — the assassination of President John F.

تعتبر قصة مايكل كورين ويست قصة مهمة. كانت ويست رسامة وشاعرة غزيرة الإنتاج في طليعة الحركة التعبيرية التجريدية، وهي الفنانة الأقل حظاً في الاعتراف بها كواحدة من الجيل الأول مع المجموعة الأساسية من الفنانين الذكور. وُضعت في دور المواجهة كواحدة من النساء القلائل اللاتي يتحدين الأساطير التي يهيمن عليها الذكور، وتحولت إلى الرسم الإيمائي في منتصف الأربعينيات، وغالباً ما كانت تضع اللوحات على الأرض وتعمل مثل جاكسون بولوك. سبقت أعمالها الأولى بالأبيض والأسود أعمال فرانز كلاين بعدة سنوات. وشملت لوحة "بالأبيض والأسود" عام 1947، والتي أثارت إعجاب كليمنت غرينبرغ الذي لم يكن يميل أبدًا إلى تقديم مجاملة غير مبررة. وعلى الرغم من المد والجزر المتغير في الفن والموضة، استمر تفانيها في التصوف والحالات العاطفية الداخلية واللاوعي من حيث صلتها بالتعبيرية التجريدية دون أن تتأثر وثابتة.





لوحة "اليوم التالي"، التي رسمتها عام 1963، هي استجابة تجريدية عميقة من ويست للحظة محورية في التاريخ الأمريكي - اغتيال الرئيس جون كينيدي. توحي الطبقات المتداخلة من الألوان المشبعة باللون الأحمر الدموي المشبع التي تتصادم مع ضربات قوية من اللون الأسود بالتمزق في الوعي الوطني وتثير مشاعر الاضطراب والارتباك، وتجسد حزن الفنان الداخلي. حوَّل ويست الحدث إلى تعبير شخصي عميق عن الحداد، ملتقطاً ثقل حزن الأمة في شكل يتحدى التمثيل الحرفي لكنه يعبر عن مشاعر كبيرة.
