Philip Guston's Poem-Pictures

Focuses on drawings that grew out of Guston's (1912-1980) interactions and collaborations with poets during the last decade of his life. Long associated with the New York School of painters, in the late 1960s Guston turned from abstract work and began integrating lines, passages and, in some cases, complete poems in his drawings. Bill Berkson, Clark Coolidge, William Corbett, and Stanley Kunitz contribute their recollections of Guston to this volume. Illustrated in b&w with several color plates. 9x11.5" Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
