The paintings included in this volume are a visual journal of Guston's concerns and conflicts in his last five years. The large-scale canvases he created highlight both his private struggle in the studio and his public meditations on war and aggression. The authors' contributions are followed by a revealing conversation between Guston and Joseph Ablow at Boston University. Ten large color reproductions. 9x11.5" Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
