Book excerpt: Philip Guston belongs to the generation of American postwar artists who were the first to free themselves from the great example of European art. Unlike his Abstract Expressionist colleagues, however, Guston did not remain faithful to just one style, but developed a variety of different forms of expression. In the 1930s he began under the banner of socially committed surrealism, and by the end of the forties he had arrived at abstraction. From that time on, he created the large-format, powerful color paintings that established his international reputation. But in the mid-sixties, Guston returned to a kind of symbolic realism with disturbing power. His late works are dominated by mysterious imagery of great intensity, and have had a major influence on younger artists. In this book, well-known scholars Michael Auping, Martin Hentschel, and Christoph Schreier focus not only on his early works, but also on the late, realistic Guston, revealing his artistic development from the late forties to the end of the seventies. The volume includes over sixty expertly reproduced plates, a detailed biography of the artist and an extensive bibliography.

Download or read book Philip Guston written by Philip Guston and published by Stadt Bonn, Kunstmuseum Bonn. This book was released on 2000 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a retrospective at the Kunstmuseum Bonn, this volume combines three works of criticism with a gallery of beautiful color plates showing the course of Guston's work from 1947-79 (Guston, born 1913, died of a heart attack in 1980). The painter began as an abstract expressionist devoted to splaying self across canvas, but became better known for a subsequent figurative and cartoon-like style (it might remind one of R. Crumb) devoted to major themes such as the Fall, Flood, and the Apocalypse. The volume's essays are Christoph Schreier's "Paths to an 'Impure' Painting Style," Michael Auping's "A Disturbance in the Field," and Martin Hentschel's "From the Abstract to the Figurative." Also featured is a substantial chronology, a bibliography of primary and secondary works and a chronological list of Guston's one-person and group exhibitions. Printed in both French and English. Does not include an index. Oversize: 9.5x11.5 ". Distributed by Distributed Arts Publishers. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.

Book excerpt: "This book ... [shows] how the artist worked out his developing ideas primarily through drawing. Included are examples of work from his early years, such as the preparatory drawings he made as a muralist for the WPA in the 1930s, in addition to the increasingly abstract work of the 1940s and 1950s, and the sequence of pictorial experiments that led to his reintroduction of the figure in the late 1960s. Also reproduced, in color, are a number of painterly gouaches and a series of acrylics"--Back cover.

Download or read book A Critical Study of Philip Guston written by Dore Ashton and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1990-01-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dore Ashton has updated the bibliography and added a new concluding chapter to her classic study of the paintings and drawings of Philip Guston, the only study of his work completely authorized by the artist. Philip Guston (1913-1980) was one of the most independent of the painters whose work was loosely linked by the term "abstract expressionism" during the 1950s, and he baffled admirers of his lushly beautiful abstract expressionist paintings by moving abruptly in mid-career to gritty figurative paintings in an almost cartoon-like style. One of the few critics who saw this at the time as a progressive development in his work was Dore Ashton, who here analyzes Guston's paintings and drawings in the context of the cultural milieu in which he worked, illuminating the dilemma facing artists who try to live with, understand, and express both the ideals of art and the reality of the world.
