text:
City Limits is a 1969 painting by Phillip Guston, part of his “hoods” series of representational works. These paintings depicted cartoonish versions of Klansmen engaged in various mundane activities. While other works in this series featured the artist himself under the guise of a KKK member, City Limits provides a more straightforward depiction. The child-like presentation has been described as enabling “a simple account of the simple-mindedness of violence.” It is influenced by his early work
