Description

Based on a retrospective at the Kunstmuseum Bonn, this volume combines three works of criticism with a gallery of beautiful color plates showing the course of Guston's work from 1947-79 (Guston, born 1913, died of a heart attack in 1980). The painter began as an abstract expressionist devoted to splaying self across canvas, but became better known for a subsequent figurative and cartoon-like style (it might remind one of R. Crumb) devoted to major themes such as the Fall, Flood, and the Apocalypse. The volume's essays are Christoph Schreier's "Paths to an 'Impure' Painting Style," Michael Auping's "A Disturbance in the Field," and Martin Hentschel's "From the Abstract to the Figurative." Also featured is a substantial chronology, a bibliography of primary and secondary works and a chronological list of Guston's one-person and group exhibitions. Printed in both French and English. Does not include an index. Oversize: 9.5x11.5 ". Distributed by Distributed Arts Publishers. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
