  Philip Guston: A Life Lived 1982

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 29 Jul 2023

  probably the greatest documentary (?) or study of an artist ive ever seen.
  guston is a fascinating specimen and a fantastic speaker. there's so much an artist can learn from just listening to him speak.

  the film in general is masterfully done. everything from the lo-fi aesthetics of film grain and fuzzy audio to the lovely moments of silence which are filled with the echo of a Gallery. this film is an incredible masterclass in art and filmmaking. my only complaint is that it isn't 2 1/2 hours long

  one of my faves of all time tbh I've watched it a million times.
