“Painter, 1957 – 1967”
 Philip Guston

Hauser & Wirth Gallery, 511 W18th St., NYC

Featuring 36 paintings and 53 drawings, the exhibition explores a pivotal decade in the career of the preeminent 20th century American artist.

‘I do not see why the loss of faith in the known image and symbol in our time should be celebrated as a freedom. It is a loss from which we suffer, and this pathos motivates modern painting and poetry at its heart.’
– Philip Guston, 1958
