Focusing on the thirty-three paintings that Philip Guston exhibited
at the Marlborough Gallery in 1970, this in-depth account
reconsiders the history of postwar American art and the conception
of figuration in modern art history. Through a myriad of cultural
touchstones, including evidence from literary and musical vogues of
the period, Robert Slifkin examines the role of history as both
artistic medium and creative catalyst to Guston's practice as a
painter. Slifkin employs a wealth of visual examples, archival
materials, and original scholarship to situate Guston's paintings
within broader artistic debates of the time, using the cultural
movement of "the sixties" as its orienting foreground. This
historical framework provides an interface between the notions of
time in art and time in the material world. Lively and edifying,
Slifkin's comprehensive text productively complicates the
prescribed traditions of postwar art history and, in turn, shifts
our perception of Guston and his place in the domain of modern art.
