The image Diana is a linocut by US artist Alex Katz from 2014. The artwork shows a portrait of curator Diana Tuite in a larger-than-life figure against a mint green background. Alex Katz uses his characteristic clear lines, bright colors and generous, monochrome surfaces to create a portrait that is both factual and emotional. By reducing to the essentials, he succeeds in capturing the personality of his model while conveying a certain intensity and expressiveness.

Alex Katz is particularly famous for his figurative paintings: The son of Russian-Jewish immigrants, he was born in New York in 1927. As a pioneer of Pop Art, he always concentrated on the essentials and explored simplified forms and high-contrast color composition early on. His art is diverse, but always has beauty as its central theme. The artist can now look back on more than 200 solo and around 500 group exhibitions; his diverse works are part of over 100 collections worldwide. Alex Katz lives and works in New York and Maine.
