His winding career, embrace of “high” and “low” sources, and constant aesthetic reinvention defy easy categorization, and his 1968 figurative turn is by now one of modern art’s most legendary conversion narratives. “I was feeling split, schizophrenic. The war, what was happening in America, the brutality of the world.

That Guston continued mining this vein for the rest of his life―despite initial bewilderment from his peers―reinforced his reputation as an artist’s artist and a model of integrity; since his death 50 years ago, he has become hugely influential as contemporary art has followed Guston into its own antic twists and turns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished to accompany the first retrospective museum exhibition of Guston’s career in over 15 years, Philip Guston Now includes a lead essay by Harry Cooper surveying Guston's life and work, and a definitive chronology reflecting many new discoveries. It also highlights the voices of artists of our day who have been inspired by the full range of his work: Tacita Dean, Peter Fischli, Trenton Doyle Hancock, William Kentridge, Glenn Ligon, David Reed, Dana Schutz, Amy Sillman, Art Spiegelman and Rirkrit Tiravanija. Thematic essays by co-curators Mark Godfrey, Alison de Lima Greene and Kate Nesin trace the influences, interests and evolution of this singular force in modern and contemporary art―including several perspectives on the 1960s and ’70s, when Guston gradually abandoned abstraction, returning to the figure and to current history but with a personal voice, by turns comic and apocalyptic, that resonates today more than ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e280 Pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9.8 x 11.6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished 2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"National Gallery of Art Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45114490454155,"sku":"404004656216","price":35.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/9623\/6427\/files\/b9780894684166-philip-guston-catalog_1.jpg?v=1768900772"},{"product_id":"musa-mayer-philip-guston","title":"Musa Mayer: Philip Guston","description":"\u003cdiv data-content-type=\"html\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-element=\"main\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten by Musa Mayer – Philip 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSplit into three sections covering Guston's early career, his mid-century Abstract Expressionist work, and his controversial but now hugely influential late period, the book offers a complete introduction and overview of a mercurial figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"National Gallery of Art Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45114491011211,"sku":"404004653888","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/9623\/6427\/files\/9781786275912.jpg?v=1768900784"},{"product_id":"house-of-joy","title":"House of Joy","description":"\u003cdiv data-content-type=\"html\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-element=\"main\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHouse of Joy explores the best and brightest in playful interior design.
