Alex Katz

Madrid

Galería Javier Lopez currently presents an exhibition by Alex Katz. Entitled Red Hat, it focuses on the genre that has made the renowned American artist internationally famous: the portrait. Throughout a career spanning more than half a century, the painter has at various times chosen to express himself through the form of a series, an approach that takes us back to the origins of modernity, as it developed with the Impressionists and the movements preceding the European avant-garde.

Katz has always been fascinated by fashion and the style of the moment, and in these recent works the unifying element that Katz has selected is a red hat, through which to explore the artistic possibilities of the human face foregrounded against a neutral backdrop.
