As part of the 2010 Maine in America Award celebration, Chief Curator Michael K. Komanecky will discuss the exhibition .Alex Katz: New Works. Katz is regarded as one of the most important artists of his generation. As painter, printmaker, sculptor and draftsman, Katz has explored two main themes over the course of his long and successful career: landscape and the figure. It is his commitment to an essentially representational approach combined with his interest in rendering his subjects in flat, essentially unmodulated forms that sets Katz apart from many of his contemporaries. These simultaneous interests, in landscape and portrait, and realism and abstraction, have guided his work for more than sixty years.
