Alex Katz is known for his amazing portraits of sophisticated women. Unlike most past sitters this image represents a contemporary woman who is not a celebrity.
"I’m a colourist but I don’t think of it as colour, I think of it as light. You have to get the light right and colour’s the way to do it."
ALEX KATZ
This striking and hypnotic black and white portrait of Anna, probably a family fiend, is built solely upon lights and contrasts. She has the powerness of a Greek sculpture revisited in Katz´s own peculiar style which alludes to cartoonistic simplicity of the of pop art. The sitter's gaze is direct, calm and friendly, which gives the viewer a feeling of serenity exalted thorough Katz's emblematic minimal execution.
