Philip Guston is an iconic American painter. Throughout a prolific and varied career, he moved from abstract expressionism to a more personal pictorial lexicon that was characterized by cartoonish imagery and a rosy palette that would have a great influence on a generation of artists. Born Philip Goldstein on June 27, 1913 in Montreal, Canada to Ukrainian Jewish parents, he grew up in California where he studied at the high school of manual arts in Los Angeles with Jackson Pollock. Guston then became an integral part of the New York School scene in the 1950s alongside artists such as Willem de Kooning and his former comrade Pollock. He is known to have abandoned the success he had with abstraction in the late 1960s, leading to his loss of gallery representation and heavy criticism. However, the figurative work he did later tends to be his greatest contribution to art history: By featuring recurring imagery like hooded figures, light bulbs, cigarettes and large eyes, these paintings helped launch Neo-Expressionism and established Guston as one of the masters of the 20th century. His work is part of the collections of MoMA in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Tate Gallery in London, among others. Guston died on June 7, 1980 in Woodstock, New York.
