Alex Katz - Late Afternoon Blue.

Late Afternoon Blue is one of the many Small Paintings by American artist Alex Katz. Entire books and exhibitions are dedicated to the series of works. Small Paintings is a series of artworks by the artist Alex Katz. Alex Katz is known for his distinctive style of portraiture and landscape painting, and the “Small Paintings” series represents a significant body of his work. While there isn’t a single specific story associated with this series, the Small Paintings share some common characteristics and themes:

Miniature Scale: The “Small Paintings” series, as the name suggests, features artworks that are notably smaller in size compared to many of Katz’s other works. These small-scale paintings are often more intimate and personal in nature.

Portraits and Landscapes: Within the “Small Paintings” series, you’ll find a mix of portraits and landscapes. Katz is known for his portraits of family and friends, often capturing the essence of his subjects with a few bold, simplified lines and areas of color. In his landscapes, he similarly uses minimalist techniques to depict scenes of nature.

Bold and Simplified Style: Katz’s style is characterized by a focus on simplicity and boldness. He often reduces his subjects to their essential elements, using clean lines and areas of color. The “Small Paintings” continue this tradition, but on a smaller scale, making them even more focused and direct.

Familiar Subjects: In the Small Paintings series, Katz continues to depict the people and places that have been a recurring theme in his work. This can include portraits of his wife, Ada, or friends and artists in his circle, as well as scenes from his life in rural Maine.

Intimate Expression: The smaller scale of these paintings can give them an intimate quality. They invite viewers to engage with the subjects and scenes on a more personal level, as the reduced size can draw the viewer closer to the work.

While there may not be a single overarching story associated with the Small Paintings series, they are part of Katz’s larger body of work, which often reflects the relationships, places, and experiences that have been meaningful in his life. Alex Katz’s art has had a significant impact on contemporary American painting, and his Small Paintings offer a unique perspective on his iconic style.
