Washington, DC | Tour of “Philip Guston Now” at the National Gallery of Art with Nathalie Ryan

Join us for a special private tour of Phillip Guston Now exhibit at the National Gallery of Art with Senior Educator Nathalie Ryan. The exhibition charts the 50-year career of one of America’s most influential modern artists through more than 150 paintings and drawings. Guston’s story is one of epic change—of artistic styles, from muralism to abstract expressionism to figuration, of degrees of political and social involvement, and of levels of personal confession in his work. Renowned in his time and in ours, Guston’s work continues to resonate, attract, and provoke, raising crucial questions about the relationship of art to beauty and brutality, freedom and doubt, politics and the imagination.

Nathalie A. Ryan has contributed to education programming, publications, and exhibitions to the National Gallery of Art since 2002. She has twenty years of demonstrated experience in conceptualizing, implementing, and evaluating outcome-based programming for museums and other educational institutions. Nathalie is also an Instructor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, coaching K-12 teachers and administrators in arts and thinking-centered learning frameworks. An artist herself, Nathalie is the Book Arts Associate at Pyramid Atlantic Art Center in Hyattsville, MD, where she oversees the Bindery and teaches workshops in bookmaking, paper engineering, and printmaking.

The exhibition is organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Tate Modern, London; and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
