Where does a painting, and more specifically, an abstract painting, fall, when it's not just busy being itself, between metaphor and analogy?

Jerry Saltz on Arshile Gorky:
I revere Gorky's work. Yet sadly, I know this is not his time. His forms look erotic to me, or otherworldly in very real ways. And his touch is scintillating. Yet to younger artists these days, Gorky comes off as relentlessly abstract, too rigorous, serious, pure and formal. Nowadays, his hard-won surfaces and meticulous shapes strike people as labored or too idealistic. His phantasmagoria comes off more platonic than it is.
