Paperback. Condition: New. Philip Guston's legendary, prescient political satire of Richard NixonIn the summer of 1971-two years before the Watergate hearings-Richard Nixon was an incumbent whose grip on power was being tested by the Pentagon Papers. Inspired in part by the work of his friend Philip Roth, who had just finished the novel Our Gang, Philip Guston began drawing the object of his political anger and despair-Richard Nixon, transformed into the character "Poor Richard," rendered with a distinctively phallic nose and scrotal jowls, and accompanied by henchmen Spiro Agnew, John Mitchell, and Henry Kissinger.Guston carefully sequenced the drawings in 1971 and planned to publish them as a book, even designing an original title page. But he held back, and the images were never released during his lifetime; only in 2001 were they first exhibited, accompanied by a publication of the series from the University of Chicago Press by Debra Bricker Balken. Today, as we face yet another moment of presidential crisis and global turmoil, Poor Richard is more relevant than ever.Poor Richard by Philip Guston brings Guston's series back into print. Following Guston's own sequencing, layout and original title page from 1971, Poor Richard by Philip Guston presents this shockingly fresh, delightfully profane series, with beautiful new reproductions. The publication marks the promised gift of these 73 drawings by The Guston Foundation to the National Gallery of Art, where they will be preserved and studied as a monument of contemporary satirical art and virtuoso drawing.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Philip Guston was born in Montreal, Quebec in 1913, the seventh child of Ukrainian immigrants. Raised in Los Angeles and largely self-taught, he found inspiration for his early murals in the masters of the Italian Renaissance. Early acclaim as a figurative painter and years spent teaching in the mid-West were followed by a Prix de Rome in 1948-49, after which he moved permanently to New York and turned to abstraction, joining contemporaries Pollock, De Kooning, Kline and Rothko. In the mid-1960's, Guston withdrew from the New York art scene to Woodstock, where he worked on the late figurative paintings for which he is now best known. He died in 1980, weeks after the opening of a major retrospective.After his Jewish Museum exhibition in 1966, Guston moved to Florida and, during a period of personal crisis, stopped painting. Instead, he turned to producing simple drawings. '1 drew constantly. Drawing very pure lines, very few lines. Some of them ended up just one line or two lines on the paper.' For Guston, 'the successful ones . were the ones where the space felt filled and they weren't just lines.
