	Philip Guston - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Philip Guston (Montreal, Canada, July 27, 1913 - Woodstock, N.Y. June 7, 1980) was a notable member of the New York School, which also numbered many of the Abstract Expressionists, such as Jackson Pollock and Willem De Kooning, as well a painter that lead the transition from Modernism to Post-Modernism in painting.
		In 1936, Guston moved to New York, and worked as an artist under the WPA scheme.
		Guston is best known for these late existential and lugubrious paintings, which at the time of his death in 1980 reached a wide audience, and brought him to the attention of many painters, and many imitators.

		Guston let flow his figurative skills in canvases that drew unequivocally on his cartooning experience and that utilize imagery that reflects what seem to be his personal demons.
		Guston's political views are never far from the surface; the 1975 San Clemente is a caustic caricature of Richard Nixon.
		The acceptance of Guston's later work is surely, in part, a result of the return to favor of figurative art in recent years.

		Guston's particular genius was in mediating such seemingly diverse traditions, and, with fluent brushstrokes that speak to the artist's hand and brilliant color, creating works that vigorously defied conventions.
		Guston's imagery of the 1950s and early 1960s is considered to be as complex and as moving as other works produced by the movement.
		Guston's emphasis on the brushstroke-what he saw as the most fundamental act of marking, the cornerstone of painting, the essence of an artist's uniqueness-remains one of his most enduring legacies.

		Although it looks like Guston has here returned to traditional composition, his compositional method is based less on a planimetric order - on the contrary, this becomes disorganized - than on the step-by-step spatial transference of individual color-forms from the background.
		Guston was partly spared a constant tug-of-war in that he did his 'pure' drawings during the day and gave himself up to the world of objects at night.

	The Artful Dodger - Philip Guston was misunderstood—but why? By Lee Siegel
		That was when Guston, who was born in Montreal's Jewish ghetto in 1913 and raised in Los Angeles, abandoned Abstract Expressionism's high style and began to paint in a cartoonish idiom borrowed from popular culture.
		And that year, Guston shocked the art world with his return to figuration in what came to be called his "infamous" Marlborough exhibition: Guston's comic-book figures seemed to be in a direct line of descent from pop artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein.
		Four years after Guston painted the last of this series, he made the first of his dark late paintings, executed in a deliberately antiromantic style that was at once a modestly mythic reply to the superficialities of Pop Art and a retort to the Abstract Expressionists' grandiose myth-making.

	Philip Guston's Poem-Pictures
		While Philip Guston always placed a premium on his friendships with poets and writers, during the late 1970s his literary relationships became especially meaningful.
		These alliances had a tangible impact on Guston's late work: the texts of many writers were frequently incorporated as integral elements in his drawings, a feature that adds to their ambiguity and layers of content.
		Philip Guston's Poem-Pictures (his own designation) comprise a remarkable body of work that has recently been assembled in an exhibition at the Addison Gallery of American Art.

		Guston began drawing at the age of 12 and consistently relied on that medium as a way to work out ideas and structure his compositions.

		Philip Guston painted with a passion for politics, the agonies of the avant-garde, a cartoonist's instincts, and the great American novel pent up somewhere inside.

		Philip Guston’s career spanned a fifty-year period of radical changes in the art world.

	Philip Guston - New York Magazine Art Review
		Philip Guston went from refined to raw, making the high-low struggles of twentieth-century painting his punch line.
		To his detractors, Guston symbolized the regression of American culture, its surrender of serious painterly values to the vulgar sirens of mass culture.
		As the cartoonish figures emerged, Guston retained the tactile, elegant poetry of his brushstroke, obviously relishing the tension created between the subtlety of his touch and the roughness of his drawing.

	Philip Guston: The Man, His Life, and His Work by Dorothy Koppelman, Aesthetic Realism Consultant. Part 1
		I have been greatly affected by the work of Philip Guston and I think his drawings, his paintings, and what he says about himself can be a means of understanding some of the largest questions artists, and all people have about ourselves.
		But Philip Guston was not able to hide his own self-criticism by being obscure in either words or paint.
		Guston, as he shows in the video made and shown in the Woodstock Art Association exhibition of his l940s drawings and murals, is searching for something; at the same time he wants to be obscure, not plain, not simple.

		Guston's late works, however, return narrative and characters to the foreground, now depicting a nonhierarchical universe where people and things are equivalent.
