Description

Written by Musa Meyer - 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. Split 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.

Reviews

"[Mayer's] take on her father's life and work-through more than 120 illustrations of his paintings and drawings alongside a selection of biographical photographs-should make for essential reading." -The Art Newspaper
