在现在已有近七十年的职业生涯中，美国画家亚历克斯•卡茨（生于1927年，纽约）致力于表达现在和现在以及人类感知的即时性 -被描述为“用现在时的绘画”。

Alex Katz在20世纪50年代在抽象表现主义的鼎盛时期在波普艺术爆炸之前出现在纽约舞台上，但他独特的审美观始终与他那一代的其他画家不同。 受到即兴音乐，舞蹈和诗歌的影响，他长期以来一直追求自己的特质和现代主义的现实主义形式。 从他的家庭，朋友和艺术合作者的标志性肖像画到他不太知名的风景和城市场景，Katz对绘画表面的精湛技术和敏感性随着电影，时尚和广告的形式语言在画作中展开。

Over a career that now spans nearly seven decades, the American painter Alex Katz (b. 1927, New York) has devoted himself to the representation of the here and now and to the immediacy of human perception – a commitment to what the artist has often described as “painting in the present tense.”

Alex Katz emerged on the New York scene in the 1950s during the heyday of Abstract Expressionism and just prior to the explosion of Pop Art, yet his unique aesthetic has always stood apart from other painters of his generation. Influenced by con-temporary music, dance and poetry, he has long pursued his own idiosyncratic and decidedly modern form of realism. From his iconic portraits of family, friends, and artistic collaborators to his less well-

known landscapes and city scenes, Katz’s consummate technique and sensitivity for painterly surfaces unfolds in productive tension with the formal languages of film, fashion, and advertising.
