Label Text:
Alex Katz counts as a leader in the return to figuration in the early 1960s. His images are typically smooth, stylized, and bare of emotion. By means of cropping, huge scale, and eye-catching, decorative pattern—all of which he applied in "Day Lily I"—he aligns his work with the styles of contemporary fashion advertising, mass media, and wide-screen movies. Active as a printmaker throughout his career, he has skillfully extended the imagery of his paintings into several media, including silk screen, lithography, and woodcut.
