Philip Guston was one of the most important and influential artists of the 20th century. His work is characterized by its raw emotional power, its exploration of the human condition, and its unique blend of abstraction and figuration. Guston's work has been the subject of numerous exhibitions and publications, but this book is the first to provide a comprehensive and in-depth examination of his life and work.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides a biographical overview of Guston's life, from his early years in Montreal to his rise to prominence in New York City. The second part examines Guston's artistic development, tracing the evolution of his style from his early abstract expressionist paintings to his later figurative works. The third part considers Guston's legacy, exploring the impact of his work on subsequent generations of artists.
