Jim Kempner Fine Art is pleased to announce Alex Katz Ladies & Landscapes, an exhibition of
prints, sculpture, and paintings by renowned American artist Alex Katz. The exhibition, which
focuses on women and natural landscapes, will open Thursday, October 27th and will remain on
view through December 4th, 2016. An opening reception will be held on Thursday, October 27th
from 6-8 pm.
Known for his flattened, smoothly stylized figure painting, Katz
developed his pictorial style in the 1950s when Abstract Expressionism
and Color Field painting were dominating the American
art scene. His loyalty to figurative painting and popular culture
went against the trends of his contemporaries, refining a style of
distinct shapes, shallow depth, bright uniform colors, and reduced
expressiveness that preceded the Pop Art movement.
Although he is primarily recognized for his portraits, Katz has
been painting trees, flowers, and natural landscapes since the
1950s. This exhibition explores the delicate women central to the
artist’s oeuvre, in addition to the natural landscapes he has been
depicting since his experience with ‘plein air’ painting in Skowhegan,
ME in 1949-1950.
