Notes
Les peintures figuratives tardives de Philip Guston ont rencontré une réponse critique extrêmement négative lors de leur première exposition à la Marlborough Gallery de New York en octobre 1970. Après l'ouverture, Guston s'est enfui en Italie avec sa femme, passant huit mois à l'American Academy de Rome. Au printemps suivant, Guston revient dans une Amérique blessée, toujours en guerre au Vietnam, dévastée par les assassinats de ses dirigeants, et divisée par les manifestations anti-guerre et les bouleversements sociaux et politiques commencés dans les années 1960. C'était le premier mandat de Richard Nixon en tant que président. L'effusion de dessins satiriques de Guston a été inspirée en partie par des conversations avec son ami Philip Roth, au travail sur sa propre satire cinglante de Nixon, "Our Gang". "Quand je suis rentré d'Europe à l'été 1971", a déclaré plus tard Guston, "j'étais assez perturbé par tout ce qui se passait dans le pays politiquement, l'administration en particulier, et j'ai commencé à faire des personnages de dessins animés. Et une chose en a conduit une autre, et ainsi de suite. pendant des mois, j'ai fait des centaines de dessins et ils semblaient former une sorte de scénario, une séquence." Achevés en juillet et août 1971, ces dessins n'ont pas été montrés publiquement pendant trois décennies. En 1975, après que le scandale du Watergate a conduit Nixon à démissionner sous la menace d'une mise en accusation, Guston a créé plus de dessins et une peinture finale avec Nixon comme sujet : "San Clemente". Ce livre rassemble pour la première fois dans son intégralité ce corpus extraordinaire.
Philip Guston's late figurative paintings were met with overwhelmingly negative critical response when first shown at Marlborough Gallery in New York City in October 1970. After the opening, Guston fled to Italy with his wife, spending eight months at the American Academy in Rome. The following spring, Guston returned to a wounded America, still at war in Vietnam, devastated by the assassinations of its leaders, and divided by antiwar protests and the social and political upheavals begun in the 1960s. It was Richard Nixon's first term as president. Guston's outpouring of satirical drawings was inspired partly by conversations with his friend Philip Roth, at work on his own scathing Nixon satire, "Our Gang". "When I came back from Europe in the summer of 1971," Guston later said, "I was pretty disturbed about everything in the country politically, the administration specifically, and I started doing cartoon characters. And one thing led to another, and so for months I did hundreds of drawings and they seemed to form a kind of story line, a sequence." Completed during July and August 1971, these drawings were not publicly shown for three decades. In 1975, after the Watergate scandal led to Nixon being forced to resign under threat of impeachment, Guston created more drawings and a final painting with Nixon as subject: "San Clemente". This book gathers this extraordinary body of work for the first time in its entirety. Exhibition: Hauser & Wirth, New York, USA (01.11.2016-28.01.2017) / Hauser & Wirth, London, UK (19.05.-29.07.2017)
Contient une conversation entre Phong Bui, William Corbett, Robert Mankoff, Irving Sandler, Katy Siegel, Lisa Yuskavage (p. 21-37).
