Philip Guston’s Edge of Town illustrates our theme.
Philip Guston’s Edge of Town—painted in 1969—illustrates our theme.
“In this new dream of violence—these are self-portraits.
I feel like Isaac Babel with his Cossacks, as if I were living with the Klan.
What do they do afterwards—or before?
What would it be like to be evil?
Why couldn’t some be artists—and paint one another?”
