The artwork, titled “Web,” was created by Philip Guston in 1975. It belongs to the Neo-Expressionism art movement and is part of the figurative genre. This piece is included in Guston’s “Cyclops” series.
The artwork is a monochromatic line drawing that captures a dynamic interplay of organic and geometric forms. It features a web-like structure spanning the left side of the composition, appearing to drape over a collection of rock-like shapes. These forms are characterized by their bulbous, textured surfaces, which are rendered with a combination of hatching and stippling techniques. The overall composition suggests a surreal and abstract scene, emphasizing both the fluidity and rigidity within the forms.
