Alex Katz
About the artist:
(born July 24, 1927, Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, New York, U.S.), American figurative painter known for his large-scale simplified images of family and friends. Katz created iconic paintings documenting the American scene and later the American landscape through understated but monumental glimpses of the vernacular world. Through arresting colours, surprising angles, and careful depictions of expression, gesture, and style, his portraits, landscapes, and still lifes remained engaging and current. Katz continues to paint and make prints.
