... In Katz's work - and most clearly
illustrated with the landscape prints - Katz is nimimal, abstract,
and realistic at the same time. With
simplified detail and economical line, Katz
is able to convey an entire environment. Katz presents his
audience with images that are reductive, concerned with being
ultimate images of our visual world; that is , imagery about visual
reality. Without being bogged
down with emotional baggage, Katz's
works are intent on drawing our attention to formal concerns of
light, scale, and our perceptions of color interaction, drawing on
the lessons of Joseph Albers who taught
at Yale while Katz was a student there. We must thank Alex
Katz, for opening our eyes to see reality in a new way. For
what Katz's prints reveal is a unique
approach to realism, real not because they are "real", but because
they are not "unreal. " Images that do
not deny that they are images but rather embrace two-dimensionality.
This is realism informed by
abstraction, realism that acknowledges multiple levels of reality,
for what more is an image of grassy landscape than a field of pure
green color?.... |
