"When Philip Guston turned to the medium of lithography in the early sixties, he was regarded as one of the leading figures of Abstract Expressionism in the United States. At that time, his art was already showing signs of the change that would lead to the later representational works that dominated the last decade of his career. The impressive series of black-and-white lithographs that Guston made shortly before his death in 1980 incorporates, as a sort of visual autobiography, the complete repertoire of objects that marked his return to powerful pictorial representation: simple everyday items, clocks, shoes, books, cigarettes, ashtrays, and occasionally his beloved sandwiches and cherries. All of these things, taken from the world of the private and intimate, are given a unique vitality by Guston's ironic eye and deliberate hand in the soft cadences of the lithographic crayon. This superb-quality illustrated book is the first publication to present Guston's complete printed oeuvre. Fifty-nine exquisite reproductions showcase a printmaker who--along with Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning--was one of the leading American artists of the twentieth century"--Provided by publisher.

An authoritative and comprehensive retrospective of the work of the visionary, adventurous, and influential painter Philip Guston. Driven and consumed by art, Guston painted and drew compulsively and talked about it with an unrivalled passion and fluency. Preeminent art critic, curator, and artist Robert Storr maps Guston's career, from the early social realist murals, to his poetic easel paintings of the 1940s, his shimmering abstract expressionist works of the 1950s and early 1960s and his new and powerful language of figurative painting of the later 1960s and 70s. Also included will be key writings by Guston himself as well as an in-depth and illustrated chronology. Featuring all the artist's best-known works, as well as many lesser known and previously unpublished paintings, the book will also include photographs of the artist at home, at work, at exhibitions and with other artists.
