| book description |

Featuring a new afterword by the author, this richly illustrated new edition of Musa Mayerâ€™s critically acclaimed memoir of her father Philip Guston is both a deeply personal account of growing up in the shadow of a great artist and a daughterâ€™s quest to better understand her father. A new edition of this classic, intimate memoir by Philip Gustonâ€™s daughter, Musa Mayer, with a new afterword. Beginning as a muralist in the 1930s, Philip Guston (1913â€“1980) embraced the lyrical vocabulary of Abstract Expressionism after his move to the East Coast. Following an artistic crisis in the mid-60s, his return to figurationâ€”focusing first on things of ordinary life, later evolving to the enigmatic and iconic cartoonlike forms for which he is now best knownâ€”shook the art world. Night Studio is both a deeply personal account of growing up in the shadow of a great artist and a daughterâ€™s quest to better understand her father, based on letters, notes, and interviews. This richly illustrated new edition is complemented by Mayerâ€™s reflections on the recent reception of Gustonâ€™s work and the afterlife of her memoir, first published to critical acclaim in 1988.
