Summary:
Late in life, the artist looks back over a career that originated in social realism during the '30s, moved to the center of abstract expressionism, and culminated in a return to figuration. Filmed at his retrospective in San Francisco in 1980 and at his Woodstock studio, where Guston is seen painting, the artist speaks candidly about his philosophy of painting and the psychological motivation for his work.
