Small (only 9 works) but well formed exhibition of the late paintings of Philip Guston (1913-1980), currently at Inverleith House in Edinburgh until 7 October.

The exhibition also includes the documentary 'A Life Lived' (1982). Narrated by the artist, it provides a fascinating overview of his life in which he talks candidly about his philosophy of painting and the psychological motivation for his work. Films like this add significantly to the exhibition experience, and my understanding of the work.
