Biography: Norman Gorbaty, American (1931-2020) Despite an encouraging debut with his work being selected for the 1954 Young American Printmakers show at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Gorbaty had decided in 1956 that he would pursue a career on Madison Avenue as a graphic designer for advertisements.He had a highly successful career working for some of the most reputable agencies in New York City, including companies such as Benton & Bowles. Throughout his fifty-year career in graphic design, Gorbaty worked on fine art projects in his spare time and eventually cumulated a large selection of works on paper, sculptures, and carvings. In recent years, works that had been previously unseen by viewers have been steadily gaining attention and recognition. In 2010, he was exhibited in a two-part solo show at Fairfield University's Walsh Gallery and Bellarmine Museum of Art. Gaining both recognition and acclaim with previously unseen works of art, as Gorbaty had an article surveying his artistic career published in the New York Times. Whether it be a painting, a print, or a sculpture, Gorbaty's works are cogent studies of form and motion.
