“挚爱缪斯”

1959年,卡茨开始大量创作彩绘人像——起先在切割的木头上作画,之后转向铝板,并且延续了整个创作生涯。60年代早期,受到电影、电视和广告的影响,将影像中「新的意象」注入绘画这种「旧的形式」中,卡茨开始大型油画和版画的创作,并在后来制作了许多版本的平版、蚀刻、丝网印刷、木刻和油毡版。1964年以后,卡茨越来越多地成组描绘画家、诗人、评论家和周围的朋友等不同身份的人物。

“环境观念”

“艺术合作”
卡茨在《虚构的符号》(Invented Symbols)一书中描述了这次合作经历:“我在与诗人埃德温·登比(Edwin Denby)见面之后,第一次看到了保罗的舞蹈,我觉得他的编舞是我作为艺术家见过的最令人惊讶的事情之一。保罗的舞蹈似乎与上一代人的舞蹈截然不同:没有表情,没有内容,没有形式,但就像他说的那样,他拥有高超的技巧和智慧。”
据卡茨回忆所述,当时电子灯开始在纽约舞蹈领域流行起来,他在作画时将光线塑造出的人物立体感变成平面,用白光和柔和的颜色平衡画面,而保罗愿意尝试这种有点激进的做法。

Alex Katz: Coca-Cola Girl
亚里克斯·卡茨:可口可乐女孩
2018.11.1-12.21
从19世纪90年代到20世纪60年代,「可口可乐女孩」是公司广告的主要组成部分,也是美国女性的理想形象。最初,可口可乐的女孩们是保守和端庄的,而在战时,可口可乐广告贯穿了整个海报时代,这些女孩形象也演变为身着制服、充满活力、无忧无虑、悠闲自在的女性形象。
这些新作品中的人物展现了类似芭蕾舞蹈的姿态动作,卡茨通过使用“特写镜头”的构图描绘这些动作的细节,将“稍纵即逝”的瞬间记录下来,形成一种动态的序列。
