Description |
Evolving from abstract expressionism to neo-expressionism, the influential artist Philip Guston expressed his vision of America by addressing themes of racism, fascism, and evil. The Street is from a portfolio of Ten Lithographs by Ten Artists 1970 published in 1971 and evokes the violence in both New York City and the world during the 1960s and 1970s. Guston said in a late 1970s interview "When the 1960s came along I was feeling split, schizophrenic. The war, what was happening in America, the brutality of the world…. I knew ahead of me a road was laying. A very crude, inchoate road." This lithograph is part of a significant group of prints from the 1970’s donated by Abraham Tannenbaum that added to the Museum’s collection of mid-century graphic art. |
