Episode Synopsis
Sokuzan leads us through "Opening The Eye Mind" Awareness practice, using as the artwork, "Cornered" by Philip Guston (born Phillip Goldstein, June 27, 1913 – June 7, 1980) .
Guston was a Canadian American painter, printmaker, muralist and draftsman. In a career of constant struggle and evolution, Philip Guston emerged first in the 1930s as a social realist painter of murals in the 1930s. Much later he also evolved a unique and highly influential style of cartoon realism. But he made his name as an Abstract Expressionist. He avoided the muscular gestures of painters such as Pollock and Kline, and opted for a lighter touch, painting shimmering abstractions in which forms seem to hover like mists in the foreground.
