Philip GustonPhilip GustonLabel: University of California PressDescription: This is the premier collection of dialogues talks and writings by Philip Guston (1913-1980) one of the most intellectually adventurous and poetically gifted of modern painters. Over the course of his life Guston's wide reading in literature and philosophy deepened his commitment to his art - from his early Abstract Expressionist paintings to his later gritty intense figurative works. This collection with many pieces appearing in print for the first time lets us hear Guston's voice - as the artist delivers a lecture on Renaissance painting instructs students in a classroom setting and discusses such artists and writers as Piero della Francesca de Chirico Picasso Kafka Beckett and Gogol.
"The 'Philip Guston Philip Guston (Paperback)' would be a great fit for artists and collectors seeking insight into the life and work of a renowned American painter, known for his abstract expressionism."
