Notes: "Maxwell Gordon was born in Chicago in 1910, raised in Cleveland, and began his career as a painter in New York City. A narrative artist fascinated by myth, symbol, and allegory, he exhibited his early works at the Museum of Modern Art, The Whitney, The Corcoran Gallery, Brandeis University, and the Israel Museum. In 1962 he moved to Mexico City, where he became known for work that mixed psychological themes with aspects of Mexican folklore and surrealism. He later lived in Jerusalem before his death in New York in 1983." -- T.p. verso.
