Philip Guston: A Life Lived
Viewers interested in modern Documentary cinema often explore Philip Guston: A Life Lived because of its cast, story direction, and audience popularity.
Late in life, the artist looks back over a career that originated in social realism during the '30s, moved to the center of Abstract Expressionism, and culminated in a return to figuration. Filmed at his retrospective in San Francisco in 1980 and at his Woodstock studio, where Guston is seen painting, the artist speaks candidly about his philosophy of painting and the psychological motivation for his work.
