The 1970 show at the Marlborough Gallery in which Guston, abandoning the delicate abstract expressionism for which he was known, revealed his new style, was critically savaged. In the aftermath of this drubbing, he retreated to his studio in Woodstock, New York--in part to nurse his wounds but, more important, to go on painting exactly as he saw fit. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRoss Feld, a young poet, novelist, and critic, was one of the rare critics to respond favorably to Guston's late work. Guston answered with a grateful note, and a new friendship was soon born. \u003ci\u003eGuston in Time\u003c\/i\u003e, written not long before Feld's early death from cancer, is a portrait of Guston the man; and of his wife, Musa, a major figure not only in his life but in his work; a reckoning with his supremely individual achievement as an artist; and a work of art in its own right. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA retrospective of Guston's work, \u003ci\u003ePhilip Guston Now\u003c\/i\u003e, will be on view at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, from May 1 to September 11, 2022; at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, from October 23, 2022, to January 15, 2023; at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., from February 26 to August 27, 2023; and at the Tate Modern, London, from October 3, 2023 to February 4, 2024.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRoss Feld\u003c\/b\u003e (1947-2001) is the author of the novels \u003ci\u003eYears Out\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOnly Shorter\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eShapes Mistaken\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eZwilling's Dream\u003c\/i\u003e, and a collection of poetry, \u003ci\u003ePlum Poems\u003c\/i\u003e.
