I'm removing the sentence "dishonesty associated with abstraction", since it is not clear who's saying this -- Guston or some commentator? It certainly shouldn't be Wikipedia. RodC 18:28, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

manual arts high school
During high school, Guston and Jackson Pollock published a paper opposing the high school's emphasis on sports over art. Their criticism led to both being expelled, but Guston returned and graduated.

this is incorrect. Pollock returned and graduated, but Guston never returned 208.58.252.155 13:11, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Cat & Girl
His Head and Bottle painting makes an appearance in this Cat and Girl comic. Not sure if it's noteworthy enough to mention, but I thought I'd point it out anyway. Esn (talk) 21:29, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Inaccuracies
I corrected several inaccuracies in this page: Guston worked in a small closet by his own choice (there he found peace and quiet to work). The Morelia Mural was made in 1934 (not 1938). Guston moved to Woodstock in 1967, not after his Marlborough exhibition (1970). The quotation: "There is something ridiculous and miserly in the myth we inherit ..." was published in 1960.

Writings by Philip Guston
I was looking for info on what he wrote. Someone said he was very profound in explaining the process of painting. Did he write any books or can something be said about anything he wrote? Bod (talk) 05:28, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
