His style ranged from the social realism of his WPA murals through his abstract expressionist canvasses of the 1950s and 1960s (when he counted Pollock, Rothko, de Kooning, and Kline among his friends) to his cartoonlike paintings of Klansmen, disembodied heads, and tangled piles of everyday objects. Critics and public alike savaged Guston for his return to figurative art, but today his late work is recognized for the singular power of its darkly hilarious vision. Musa Mayer augments her firsthand knowledge with extensive interviews with his family, friends, students, and colleagues, as well as Guston's own letters, notes, and autobiographical writings, to re-create a turbulent era in American art. \u003ci\u003eNight Studio\u003c\/i\u003e, profusely illustrated (including almost a dozen paintings in full color), illuminates not only the life of a great artist, but the experience of growing up in his shadow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Guston, Philip, Painters\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Da Capo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780306807671\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mayer, Musa","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £20.59","offer_id":48027920564401,"sku":"SB-030680767X-C3","price":20.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/030680767X.jpg?v=1791940244","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/night-studio-a-memoir-of-philip-guston","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
