Summary: The first American retrospective of artist Philip Guston's (1913-1980) career in over 15 years. Scholarly essays trace the influences, interests, and evolution of this singular force in modern and contemporary art--including a close look at the 1960s and 1970s, when Guston 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.
