Guston’s I Paint What I Want to See is a bracing, intimate look into an artist’s rebellion against purity and pretense. Through essays, talks, and interviews, Guston wrestles with abstraction, politics, and the stubborn need to paint what feels true, not what’s fashionable. His voice is restless, funny, and defiant — a reminder that art is born not from certainty, but from the courage to contradict yourself.
