Everything about Robert Coates Critic totally explained
Robert Myron Coates (
1897–
1973) was an American writer and an art critic for the
New Yorker. He coined the term, "
Abstract Expressionism" in 1946 in reference to the works of
Arshile Gorky,
Jackson Pollock and
Willem de Kooning. As a writer of fiction, he's considered a member of the
Lost Generation, spending part of his life abroad in Europe. His first three novels are highly experimental, drawing upon
Dada,
surrealism and
expressionism for their effect. His last two novels are examples of
crime fiction in which the narrator presents a psychopathological case study of the protagonist.
Nowadays, Coates is best known for
The Outlaw Years (
1930), which deals with the history of the land pirates of the
Natchez Trace. It is the only work by the author that's still in print.
He was survived by his second wife, Astrid Peters Coates (1910-1995), his son, Anthony (from his marriage to Elsa Kirpal, which had ended in divorce); and his stepdaughter, Ingrid Waldron.
