 Maine/New York surveys three decades of Alex Katz (born in 1927). A quintessential New York artist, Katz is also a part-time resident of rural Maine, and the subject matter of his painting accordingly shifts from landscape to cityscape, from rural vignette to Manhattan interior. In this volume, published for an exhibition at Colby College Museum of Art – where the largest public collection of Katz’s resides – the pleasant haze of city afternoon is juxtaposed with the flickering greens of rural path; the buzz of a fashionable social occasion with the dusk as it descends on a pond in the Maine woods. Along the way, we encounter the family members and friends who populate Katz’s paintings, cast in his distinctive treatments of light and atmosphere.
Charta ha pubblicato Alex Katz. Invented Symbol e Alex Katz. Maine/New York nel 2012, Alex Katz. New York nel 2007, Alex Katz. The Sixties nel 2006 e Alex Katz. In Maine nel 2005.
