Philip Guston - Drawing for Poets (Broché)

Biographie de Michael Semff

Tireless in his quest for the unknown and the still undiscovered, Philip Guston (1913-1980) engaged poets and literati in intense dialogues that led to fruitful collaborations. He created numerous illustrations, "poem-pictures," and cover images for works by poets such as Bill Berkson, William Corbett, Clark Coolidge, and Frank O'Hara. Accompanied by an authoritative essay by the eminent poet Bill Berkson, the illustrative works by Guston featured in this volume are testimony to just how fascinating the interplay of text and image can be.
