When I was in High school our class visited the Marlboro Gallery for Guston's show in 1970. I thought is was great. Huge cartoon like paintings filled the space. I'd never seen anything like it and was completely blown away. Imagine my surprise when the "art establishment" universally criticized this exhibition. The "swells" and academics were offended that he dared to paint his own way! I learned then that sometimes when you don't follow the crowd they will try to make you stand in the corner.
