The Tate Modern is presenting the first major survey of Philip Guston’s work in the UK for more than 20 years. The exhibition showcases Guston’s work over five decades, during which he created paintings and drawings that responded to the social and political upheavals of the late 20th century, exploring how his work encompassed both the personal and political, the funny and the tragic, and the abstract and the figurative. The show includes his large-scale paintings that feature hooded Ku Klux Klan figures in an examination of evil and racism, his poem-pictures, and dream-inspired late works.
