King of Death

Jack Goresko breaks Holocaust fine arts tradition in his portrayal “King of Death.”
Via "minimalist expressionism", this work takes on the form of an icon. His mentor, Alexander Bercovitch, who was a master of the icon and used it as a basis for much of his work may have been one of Jack’s influences in approaching this type of subject matter in this manner.

Talk With Dead

This Holocaust-inspired portrait of a grotesque, horrified man gazing upon walking skeletons is non-literal non-representational. It reveals Jack Goresko’s focus on maximum expression via the human form. His settings are more allegorical than most Holocaust-related art.

The Chamber

Primary focus on the human form, facial expressions and the like define Goresko's non literal-allegorical approach to the holocaust. 2 dismembered waving hands signal powerlessness and doom for eerily, stoic victims.

Train Ride

Angished victims shoulder co-victims packed on top of each other like sardines provide human essence and context for terror and peril. "Minimalist Expressionism" via the human form.
