He taught himself to sketch and published his first cartoon when he was just 13. In school he became good friends with Jackson Pollock and they created art and mischief together. Guston was inspired by Italian Renaissance painters and Mexican muralists. He soon started to create his own murals, like The Struggle Against Terrorism (pictured here). A bold, massive fresco work, the mural shows people through the ages resisting the cruelty of the Spanish Inquisition, the rise of Nazism, and hate groups such as the Ku Klux Klan. Very early on, he used his paintbrush as a powerful tool to protest the frightening events shaping the world around him. 'Racism was rife in Los Angeles. When he was a boy, you had thousands of Ku Klux Klan members in full regalia marching through the streets of the city. Murals reflected his desire to create art that addressed issues that spoke to the people, that was for everyone.' - Philip Guston’s daughter, Musa Mayer Click the link in our bio to read the full interview with Musa Mayer about her father‘s obsession with painting in an anxious and turbulent world.
