Alex Katz, 2004. Photograph by Vivien Bittencourt.

(b.1927) is one of the most important American artists alive today. For more than 50 years, painter Alex Katz has resisted trends in modern art to pioneer and refine his own style of flat, elegant, and realistic figure painting. What About Style? offers an uncluttered view of this American maverick. Filmmaker and art critic Heinz Peter Schwerfel captures the elusive Katz working in his Maine studio and his Soho flat, laboring over a 32-foot painting called The Black Brook. Interviews, archival footage, images of his subjects, and a virtual tour of 20 Katz paintings are combined to convey his unique style of art. Free with museum admission, No reservations. First come, first seated.

“The Arts give us numerous vehicles from which we can explore and then produce an expression of who we are – our “Energy”. This show invites all members of the Arts Council to display a piece of visual artwork that gives the viewer and idea of who each artist is at this moment. We might show, through our artwork, our hopes, our visions, or the places from which our “Energy” was born or has evolved to. This exhibit wonderfully shows the vast range and talent of our members in beautiful and thought –provoking ways.” William Grabowski, curator.
