Description
Philip Guston remains a pivotal figure in the history of twentieth-century American painting. Written by Musa Meyer—Guston's daughter and president of the Guston Foundation—this book brings Guston's life and his hugely rich and diverse output together into one succinct volume. Split into three sections covering Guston's early career, his mid-century Abstract Expressionist work, and his controversial but now hugely influential late period, and with more than 100 images of Guston's work (including both paintings and drawings), this offers a complete introduction and overview of a mercurial figure.
