Description
The catalogue Henri Matisse - Alex Katz : Le silence de la peinture highlights the unprecedented dialogue between two major figures in painting, presented by the Musée Matisse Nice. Since discovering Matisse's work in 1949, Alex Katz has maintained a lasting admiration for the French master.
Through portraits, scenes of movement and landscapes, Katz's work expresses a distinctive, direct and pared-back approach to figurative painting, in which colour and composition give images an immediate presence. The catalogue explores the artistic affinities between the two painters and the ways in which their work reflects modernity.
An essay by Éric de Chassey and an interview between Alex Katz and Aymeric Jeudy shed light on the connections between their work and their formal concerns.
