Art Speaks: Philip Guston and “Impure” Painting

With Molly Moog, research assistant for modern and contemporary art

This talk will consider the critical approach of American artist Philip Guston, highlighting his understanding of painting as “impure,” or bound both to the world at large and the artist’s subjectivity. Speaker Molly Moog will address Guston’s painting Dark Room, 1978, a promised gift from Emily Rauh Pulitzer to the Saint Louis Art Museum, alongside works from the Museum’s collection.
