ISSUE 9

Your sense that the ’50s work and early ’60s was “forced” to “look” “abstract” was the largest part of the comic-absurd subject. I knew it at the time but couldn’t tell anyone. The word FINIS really means that things are beginning to be understood. And one’s greatest desire finally is not to be merely liked, etc but to be understood.’

Philip Guston, from a letter to Ross Feld in Guston in Time, published by Counterpoint, New York, 2003
