2024 post: Throughout 2024, we're looking back at the 100 year history of art at the Mulvane. This 1949-50 painting is by Philip Guston. Born in Canada to a Jewish Russian family, Guston grew up in the US. He worked in many different artistic styles, from abstract expressionist compositions like this one to figural works that explored themes of racism. He is considered one of the most influential painters of the 20th century.
