Alex Katz

Alex Katz (n. Brooklyn, 24 de Julho de 1927) é um pintor e americano.

Biografia

Alex, filho de um comerciante e de uma actriz de teatro, cedo se interessou pela arte comercial. Estudou na Woodrow wilson Vocational High School de Queens, na Cooper Union School of Art and Architecture em Nova Iorque e mais tarde obteve uma bolsa na Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, em Skowhegan, Maine.

Katz casou com Jena Cohen em 1950 e em segundas núpcias com Ada, médica e investigadora.

A sua obra sofreu influências do movimento da pop art do qual fez parte.

Tendo conhecido Paul Tayler (coreógrafo), acabou por fazer diversas cenografias para diversos espetáculos.
