“In the course of his decades-long career, [drawing] repeatedly ushered in new phases of creativity and repeatedly served to articulate radically different approaches ...Drawing invariably had a key role to play whenever Guston’s painting was in a state of crisis. For him, to draw was always to pause for thought, was always a chance to catch his breath or an opportunity for critical reorientation (“Forward,” Philip Guston: Works on Paper, exh. cat., The Morgan Library & Museum, New York, 2007, p 7)
