Philip Guston was a renowned Canadian American artist known for his contributions to the mid-century New York School art movement. He transitioned from abstract styles to a dark, figurative approach, addressing social issues such as racism and American identity in his provocative neo-expressionist works. Guston’s paintings, including those featuring hooded Klansmen, encouraged viewers to confront the concept of “banality of evil” and sparked discussions on social and racial justice.
