Philip Guston

The Street
1970

A black and white ink drawing depicting an abstract composition of various shapes and forms that resemble furniture and architectural elements. The scene is cluttered with these forms, some of which suggest chairs, tables, and buildings, all densely packed into the frame. The style is loose and expressive, with heavy lines and cross-hatching for shading. The bottom left corner contains handwritten text, likely the title and artist's signature, while the bottom right corner has a signature and date.
