Painter

1979-1980
Philip Guston (American, 1913–1980) Printed by Gemini G.E.L., Los Angeles Printed by Christine Fox Printed by Richard Garst Collaborator Serge Lozingot Collaborator Anthony Zepeda Published by Gemini G.E.L., Los Angeles
Guston’s transition from abstraction to more representational imagery near the end of his life was prompted in part by his questioning of artists’ relationships to their subject matter. This concern often took the form of satirical portrayals of the artist, his materials, and his studio, as seen here.
