The seventh Red Hook, an 8x10 oil on panel.
I've just finished reading Night Studio, a memoir, written by Musa Mayer, the daughter of the painter Philip Guston. One enviable takeaway for me is the constant and exciting creativity that came upon Philip Guston in the last twelve years of his life. No matter what you may think of his paintings and drawings from this period, he kept finding and inventing new visual ideas pulled from his own experience. It's as if he didn't know they were there, but when he started tapping the source, they kept coming and coming.
