oct 1, 1970 - Exposition Marlborough Gallery, New York
Description:
The first exhibition of these new figurative paintings was held in 1970 at the Marlborough Gallery in New York. It received scathing reviews from most of the art establishment. Memorably, New York Times art critic Hilton Kramer ridiculed Guston's new style in an article entitled "A Mandarin Pretending to Be a Stumblebum",[10] referring to "mandarin" in the sense of an influential figure and "stumblebum" meaning a clumsy person.
