Description
Philip Guston's 1971 series of drawings, now published for the first time, presents a scathing critique of power and politics. In response to the tumultuous events of his time, Guston created a character known as "Poor Richard," featuring a distinctive, phallic nose and scrotal jowls, accompanied by prominent figures from Nixon's administration. The series was carefully sequenced and designed for publication in 1971, but remained unpublished during Guston's lifetime. Now, with beautiful new reproductions, this collection brings Guston's biting satire back into view. The National Gallery of Art has acquired the rights to the series, which will be preserved and studied as a landmark of contemporary satirical art. This book presents the complete series, following Guston's original sequencing and layout, along with an original title page from 1971.
