City Limits

"City Limits" is a compelling oil on canvas painting created by Phillip Guston in 1969. The artwork exemplifies a cityscape rendered with bold, expressive brushwork characteristic of Neo-expressionism. Guston’s use of vivid colors and distorted forms evoke a sense of raw immediacy and emotional intensity, breaking away from traditional representations of urban landscapes. Held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the piece is noted for its powerful visual language and innovative approach, embodying both the vibrancy and chaos of city life.
