Art of American Painter Philip Guston: Discussion and Film Screening
Ladder of Philip Guston, 1978
When: Thursday May 28, 5 p.m. – 7 p.m.
Where: American Center, Tržiště 13, Prague 1 - Malá Strana
Art Historian Jessica Stewart will present and discuss the art and life of American painter Philip Guston (1913–1980), a member of the highly influential New York School of painting in the 1950s (which included Willem de Kooning and his childhood friend Jackson Pollock).
Later, deeply influenced by comic books and politics, Guston controversially switched back to more representational works of art, for example returning to his earlier images of Ku Klux Klan members. The documentary film “Philip Guston: A Life Lived” will be shown after the discussion.
The discussion and the film will be in English.
The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is currently showing an exhibition of Philip Guston. More on www.nga.gov/exhibitions/gustoninfo.shtm.
