"I think I mainly go to museums. Well, galleries - who goes to galleries? You go to museums. And you look at the masters, that's who you look at."

“Thank god for yellow ochre, cadmium red medium, and permanent green light.”
I have more pages tabbed in this book than anything else I’ve read this year. Philip Guston’s beautiful and stubborn words have changed my view of art.

Talks about:
Process, reception, intuition, form (movement, gravity, line, mass), politics, not knowing, discovery, habit, objects, frustration.
Well-put together selection which picks up in the second half. Gets quite repetitive but the repetition is insightful. Guston seems expectedly obsessed in manner and observation.

A collection of talks and conversations from the abstract artist. Usually I don’t mind reading things like this even if I’m not familiar with the artist but I genuinely felt like I was retaining zero information from this.
