A Day's Work
1970
Guston was one of the first Abstract Expressionists, actually attending and befriending Jackson Pollock in high school. He viewed himself, at least as he was approaching artistic maturity, as someone who was going against the academic establishment. His art is very visceral–I mean that literally–often using colors and shapes that look unbelievably organ-like. There's little happiness on his canvases.
