Philip Guston at the Washington DC National Gallery of Art

Back


Philip Guston (1913 - 1980) started as a muralist; later he joined the Abstract Expressionists from New York; he was a close friend of Pollock and De Kooning. In the sixties he changed completely his style and became kind of a Hyperrealist (without being properly a Hyperrealist), or kind of of Pop (without being properly Pop Art), or kind of Dada (without being properly a Dadaist). In other words, he became his own guy. He explained once that he had become tired of the purity of Abstractionism and desired to tell stories again. My first encounter with his art was at the Phillips Collection: the drawing of a hand with six fingers! Now, they arranged two rooms for his art works at the Washington National Gallery. (Musical Background: Schubert, Notturno in E Flat Major for Piano Trio, Op. 148, D. 897, performed by Leonard Hokanson and the Ensemble Villa Musica)
