Alex Katz is an American painter known for his figurative paintings that feature simplified forms and bold colors. He was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1927 and studied at Cooper Union and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture.
Katz's work is characterized by his use of flat planes of color and clean lines, which he uses to create a sense of simplicity and clarity in his paintings. His subjects often include landscapes, portraits, and other scenes from everyday life, which he renders in a distinctive style that combines elements of abstraction and realism.
Throughout his career, Katz has received numerous awards and honors, including a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Design in 2007. Today, his work is considered some of the most important examples of post-war American art, and his influence can be seen in the work of many contemporary artists.
