- Description
- An interview with the artist Alex Katz Alex Katz's paintings and sculptures monumentalize common moments of everyday life. Katz was influenced by the golden age of the billboard business. Roadside signs with moving parts, in which the figures extended beyond the billboard, also motivated Katz to produce canvas cutouts pasted onto wooden boards, fashioning life-size figures that are like huge paper dolls. (Marshall, Alex Katz, 1986) http://www.americanart.si.edu/luce/artist.cfm?key=344&artistmedia=477&object=165039&subkey=105541
