Brief synopsis
The extraordinary work of American artist Philip Guston (1913-1980) is a landmark of modern painting. Guston is one of the most discussed painters of his time and today star of the younger generation of contemporary artists. Witty, lively, absurd and always on the pulse of their time, his paintings touch deeply - and are more current than ever.
"Painter Philip Guston - An American Life" by Marion Kollbach follows his career, spanning half a century, drawn from his struggles with the material, his own muse and intuition, and American society - relentlessly seeking truth to bear witness. It is a personal portrait that offers the first opportunity to discover more deeply one of the seminal painters of American modernism through the eyes of his daughter, friends, and current artists*.
