Philip Guston in his studio in 1980 Photo: Sidney Felsen, Gemini G.E.L. A new publication on the life and work of the American-Canadian artist Philip Guston, by his daughter Musa Mayer, is published in the wake of the furore late last year over the delayed touring survey of Guston’s works. The book arcs from Guston’s time as a muralist working with the government-funded Federal Art Project in the 1930s to his return to figuration in the 1960s when he reintroduced hooded Klansmen to his paintings, which were at the centre of last year’s controversies. A selection of rare biographical photographs and more than 120 illustrations of Guston’s paintings and drawings accompany Mayer’s exploration of her father’s artistic innovations.
