It features some 180 works depicting Nixon and his cronies from 1971 and 1975. The book opens with an introduction by Philip Guston's daughter, Musa Mayer, and also includes the transcript of a panel discussion moderated by Phong Bui with William Corbett, Irving Sandler, Lisa Yuskavage, Bob Mankoff and Katy Siegel. These trenchant works were created in the tumultuous political climate of the early 1970s; the US was reeling from the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Senator Robert F. Kennedy, the chaos of the 1968 presidential election and the enduring violence of the Vietnam War.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e248 pages, 256 colour, 4 b\/w. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e29.2 x 31.8 cm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eMeet Philip Guston \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhilip Guston (1913-80) first came to fame as an Abstract Expressionist. He began reintroducing figurative elements -- clumsy hands, cigarettes, light bulbs -- into his work in the late 1960s. These late paintings were first exhibited, to savage critical reception, in 1970; Guston began his Nixon drawings at precisely this point in his career. Caricaturing Nixon, Guston began to refine a pictorial language equally sensitive to inner pathos and the turmoil of the public world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trish Clark Gallery Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43998216126644,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/3105\/5312\/files\/Screenshot2025-07-31at1.52.03PM.png?v=1774572133","url":"https:\/\/shop.trishclark.co.nz\/products\/philip-guston-nixon-drawings","provider":"Trish Clark Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
