Life With P. - Philip Guston: Paintings and Drawings 1964 - 1978

'Life with P.' illuminates an intimate and rarely observed facet of Philip Guston's art. While this groundbreaking 20 th century master is best known for raw, painterly explorations of sociopolitical power and sobering inspections of human nature, this exhibition at Hauser & Wirth's 18th Street space will showcase a selection of Guston's more intimate paintings and works on paper in which Guston ruminates on his marriage to poet Musa McKim and their lives together in Woodstock. The works on view will include a collection of Guston's 'Poem Pictures,' drawings that respond to his wife's poetry, as well as three large-scale figurative paintings that have never before been exhibited.
