The art books I have, of the masters, are mostly drawings. I seem to tend to buy books of drawings. Because, of course, you see the most intimate thought, all his reflections, his erasures, the direct impulse. It’s not paint. We all know that with paint you put down a pink, a red, a blue, a shape, and you scumble it over, you change it. There’s a lot of funny business going on in painting. But drawing is direct.

"Rug" (1976) is reproduced from 'Philip Guston Now,' the catalog to the exhibition opening today at @ngadc⁠ ⁠ In his catalog essay, Rirkrit Tiravanija quotes a 1965 text by Guston: "But you begin to feel as you go on working that unless painting proves its right to exist by being critical and self-judging, it has no reason to exist at all — or is not even possible."⁠ ⁠ @markgodfrey1973 quotes Guston from an October 7, 1973, letter to poet Bill Berkson: “Our whole lives (since I can remember) are made up of the most extreme cruelties of holocausts. We are the witnesses of the hell. When I think of the victims it is unbearable. To paint, to write, to teach in the most dedicated sincere way is the most intimate affirmation of creative life we possess in these despairing years."⁠ ⁠ Read more via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ Text by Harry Cooper, Mark Godfrey, Alison de Lima Greene, Kate Nesin.

Risky? Essential!... Philip Guston at Hauser & Wirth, New York.      Here • Sleeping • from 1977.     Is Philip Guston right for now?     Last year, the long-planned, widely anticipated traveling retrospective of Guston was abruptly postponed for three years, as the four participating museums organizing it - the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, the Tate Modern in London, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, were afraid for the reception of the public. The zeitgeist was changed and we, the viewers, are not ready to deal with Guston’s powerful work. Really? Really!     ‘Sleeping’ from 1977, a self-portrait, shows Guston’s condition after his wife Musa had a series of debilitating strokes.     Go see this show and decide for yourself!       #philipguston #guston #art #modernart #artist #painter #painting #oil #canvas #sleeping #bed #cartoon #shoes #stillness #storytelling #crisis #fashion #religious #mythological #portrait #selfportait #portraiture #renaissance #arthistory #figuration #figurative #figurativeart #theamazingpoppingeyes #hauserwirth #newyork https://www.instagram.com/p/CTp0dViLIka/?utm_medium=tumblr
