Untitled (Light Bulb), oil on panel, 12 x 14 inches / "After witnessing his father's depression and finding him following his suicide, the young Guston retreated to a place of literal isolation--a closet illuminated by a single light bulb--and began a lifelong career in art through an intense engagement with cartoons of his own invention. The light bulb later became a prevailing image in Guston's mature work. "
