About this work
A radical shift in Philip Guston’s career came in the late 1960s, when he developed a new figurative style after twenty years of painting works associated with the New York School of Abstract Expressionists. Guston began to introduce everyday objects, figures and autobiographical content into his paintings and works on paper, initiating what would be a widespread impact on a younger generation of artists looking for new expressive possibilities in painting.
