"Rug" (1976) is reproduced from 'Philip Guston Now,' the catalog to the exhibition opening today at @ngadc⁠ ⁠ In his catalog essay, Rirkrit Tiravanija quotes a 1965 text by Guston: "But you begin to feel as you go on working that unless painting proves its right to exist by being critical and self-judging, it has no reason to exist at all — or is not even possible."⁠ ⁠ @markgodfrey1973 quotes Guston from an October 7, 1973, letter to poet Bill Berkson: “Our whole lives (since I can remember) are made up of the most extreme cruelties of holocausts. We are the witnesses of the hell. When I think of the victims it is unbearable. To paint, to write, to teach in the most dedicated sincere way is the most intimate affirmation of creative life we possess in these despairing years."⁠ ⁠ Read more via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ Text by Harry Cooper, Mark Godfrey, Alison de Lima Greene, Kate Nesin.

"Talking" (1979) is reproduced from 'Philip Guston Now' — published to accompany the exhibition opening today at @ngadc after much talk, and debate, and writing, and revising. ⁠ ⁠ Amy Sillman writes: "Time, that patient substance that the work is unraveled in, is also slowly devouring us even as our pictures unspool. The worried guy in Guston’s pictures, smoking, eating, and watching, is a guy who both reveals and repudiates time; doubt regenerates him.⁠ I can’t feel this much existentialism in other painters, and not many other painters wager such ridiculousness. Guston’s is the kind of unexalted comedy that museums and art history generally want to suppress. In places of high art you’re supposed to see the majesty of time’s arrow as it arcs across time, not the way the failed arrows fall out of the quiver between wonder and stupidness. But that’s how life actually feels. …"⁠ ⁠ We are proud to have co-published the exhibition catalog to this show, which also stopped at @mfaboston and @mfahouston and will make its way in 2024 to @tate ⁠ ⁠ Text by Harry Cooper, Mark Godfrey, Alison de Lima Greene, Kate Nesin.
