<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.

הסיפור של מייקל קורין ווסט הוא סיפור משמעותי. ווסט, שהוא צייר ומשורר פורה בחזית התנועה האקספרסיוניסטית המופשטת, הוא האמן הפחות סביר שיזכה להכרה כמי שעומד בין הדור הראשון עם קבוצת הליבה של אמנים גברים. כשהיא ממוקמת בתפקיד עימות כאחת הנשים הבודדות שמתריסות נגד מיתולוגיה הנשלטת על ידי גברים, היא עברה לציור מחוות באמצע שנות ה-40, לעתים קרובות מניחה את הקנבסים על הרצפה ועובדת כמו ג'קסון פולוק. עבודתה המוקדמת ביותר בשחור-לבן קודמת ליצירתו של פרנץ קלין בכמה שנים. הוא כלל את "שחור ולבן" משנת 1947, שהרשים את קלמנט גרינברג, שמעולם לא נטה להעניק מחמאה מיותרת. למרות הגאות המשתנות של האמנות והאופנה, מסירותה למיסטיקה, למצבים רגשיים פנימיים ולתת המודע בהתייחסותם לאקספרסיוניזם המופשט נמשכה ללא הפרעה ויציבה.





"היום שאחרי", שצויר ב-1963, הוא תגובתו הקרבית והמופשטת של ווסט לרגע מרכזי בהיסטוריה האמריקאית - רצח הנשיא ג'ון קנדי. השכבות החופפות של גוונים רוויים אדומי דם המתנגשים במכות שחורות חזקות מרמזות על השבר בתודעה הלאומית ומעוררות תחושות של שיבוש ובלבול, המגלמים את צערו המופנם של האמן. ווסט הפך את האירוע לביטוי אישי עמוק של אבל, לוכד את כובד הצער של אומה בצורה שמתריסה לייצוג מילולי אך מדברת רבות מבחינה רגשית.
