Alex Katz has produced a remarkable and impressive body of work but is best known for his large-scale, flat, yet realistic portraits of friends and family notable for their relaxed attitudes and uncomplicated bearing. In this interview from 1977, Katz talks about the development of his work and the decision to continue making figural work during the high-energy period of Abstract Expressionism. “I knew I had to paint what I saw,” Katz says in this interview with Kate Horsfield. “I never really felt comfortable with generalizations.”
A historical interview originally recorded in 1977 and re-edited in 2003.
