Description
Philip Guston: The Studio explores the pivotal work that marked a radical shift in the artist's career. In the late 1960s, Guston produced a series of paintings that departed from the prevailing Minimalist movement, instead embracing a more figurative and cartoon-like style. Craig Burnett examines The Studio in detail, tracing the historical and personal motivations behind Guston's return to figuration and the critical reaction to the work. He also delves into the painting's structure, exploring its connections to Piero della Francesca, Manet, and other artists, as well as the significance of a column of smoke as a compositional device. This concise and illustrated book provides a nuanced understanding of The Studio, not only as a key moment in Guston's artistic evolution but also as a harbinger of the postmodern movement.
