The Ku Klux Klan paintings confronting racism

“These hood wearing figures really aren't painted by Guston other than to be supportive and against racial discrimination.”

Art critic Estelle Lovatt says Philip Guston’s artwork depicting the KKK is meant to “expose the banality of the evils of life” rather than glorify the group.

The paintings are going on display in the Tate Modern this October.
