Based on a 1988 painting by Katz.
Alex Katz's artistic vision has revised what representational art looks like in the modern world. His portraits, carefully edited of extraneous detail, flattened, cropped, and blown-up to a grand scale, combine characteristics of realism and abstraction in a way that recalls the visual language and scale of advertising billboards and movies.
