Philip Guston



Just saw his drawings at the Morgan. I have an affection for him that I don't for most of his generation because Art Spiegelman plugged him in an issue of The Comics Journal that I read at a very impressionable age.

  1. S & I are big Guston fans too—I think one can enjoy him without having been hit while young. He’s one of the few artists from that era with a sense of humor.
