Description: Artist: Alex Katz Title: Striped Jacket Medium: Lithograph in colors on Arches Roll Cover paper Image Size: 29 3/8" x 37 1/8" Frame Size: 39" x 47" Year: 1981 Edition: 41/58 Inscription: Signed and numbered on front lower left Condition: Very good quality overall Documentation: Includes Gallery Certificate of Authenticity Renowned American figurative artist Alex Katz created simplified large-scale portraiture and landscape paintings. His characteristic style incorporates a distinctive type of Realism composed of a flat composition, bright colors, and depictions of ordinary scenes and lived-in moments. His recurring subjects include friends, family, fashion, flowers, and ‘environmental landscapes.’ Katz is prolific in oil paintings, collages, prints, drawings, and sculptures of cutout figures. Katz is often associated with the New York School. However, unlike his fellow contemporaries working in an abstract expressionist style, his painting style adopted a simple yet stylized aesthetic of minimal detail and shadows. Additionally, it employs bold contours and blocks of color in monochrome backgrounds. Furthermore, his technique combines characteristics of abstraction and representation. Striped Jacket illustrates a woman wearing a striped jacket looking over her shoulder to the viewer. The lithograph incorporates Katz’s characteristic style of flat blocks of color, minimal detailing, and shading. The close cropping of the image enhances the intimacy of the print. The woman is Katz’s wife and eternal muse, Ada. Katz met Ada Del Moro at the opening of one of his exhibitions in 1957 and has been the subject matter of more than two hundred of his artworks. Katz describes his wife as the perfect model, “classic American beauty-full lips, a short nose, and wide eyes.” Striped Jacket includes a gallery certificate of authenticity. The work comes signed and numbered on the front lower left. Furthermore, the artwork is very good quality overall. Alex Katz Biography Alex Katz is an American figurative artist renowned for his simplified large-scale portraiture and landscape paintings. Today, art historians consider his distinctive type of realism, characterized by bold simplicity and vibrant colors, a precursor to Pop Art. Katz was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1927. Heavily influenced by his parents and their interest in poetry and arts throughout his childhood, he pursued art growing up and eventually as a career. In 1946, Katz attended The Cooper Union Art School in Manhattan and learned Modern art theories and techniques. After graduating in 1949, he received a scholarship to study at the Skowhegan School for Painting and Sculpture in Maine. There he was exposed to painting from life rather than from other paintings. This exposure to the plein air painting style would be a seminal development of his career, practice, and artistic approach characterized by flatness, bright colors, and depictions of ordinary scenes and lived moments. From 1955 to 1959, Katz created small collages of figures in landscapes, specifically scenes of New York and Maine. By the late 1950s, his interest in realism and portraiture manifested itself, and he began creating portraits of his friends and his wife and primary muse, Ada. Taking a cue from the visual culture found in films, television, and advertisements, especially billboard signs, Katz's work developed to include large-scale paintings with dramatically cropped faces in the early 1960s. His focus once again evolved in the 1970s when he embraced the social world of painters, poets, critics, and other acquaintances as his subject matter. In the 1980s, Katz embraced fashion and rendered portrait of models and others in designer clothing. By the late 1980s and early 1990s, Katz returned to landscape painting once again. However, his works were now large and embraced a more painterly style. Throughout the 1990s and beginning of the twenty-first century, his paintings highlighted the effect of light on nature as a new focal point. The works created during this period typically showcased light falling through branches. Additionally, he painted large close-ups of induvial or clusters of flowers. At the start of 2010, Katz returned to portraiture utilizing more severe cropping and combined multiple cropped images alluding to filmstrips in his compositions. Since 1951, Katz's work has exhibited in more than two hundred solo exhibitions and almost five hundred group exhibitions throughout the United States and abroad. Works by Alex Katz can be found in over a hundred public collections worldwide. Some notable American collections include those of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Brooklyn Museum, the Carnegie Museum of Art, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), The National Portrait Gallery of Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Additionally, his work is part of the French National Collection, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Japan, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, the Saatchi Collection, and the Tate Modern.
