When I look at any of his portraits it's a distinct personality, yet there's hardly anything there. I've become more and more awed at this aspect, plus the paintings are good to look at (to me). With the videos it's nice to find a straightforward person, no BS. He says his grammar is abstract and I can relate to that too, it's something I've often tried but failed to articulate.<br />Best wishes<br />Mary Mary Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02928467917550027272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33295315.post-53509172930083602732013-03-05T04:44:13.942-05:002013-03-05T04:44:13.942-05:00I saw Katz's paintings in Dublin at the Museum...I saw Katz's paintings in Dublin at the Museum for Modern Art in Kilmainham a few years ago. They are very large indeed. I couldn't personally figure out what made him so popular...snapshot compositions, graphic flattened faces, greying colours...I figured in the end that his art must be one of those phenomena that are about a particular moment in time. I can understand him like that- a man of the seventies, doing seventies-type things...Susanna Sweeneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08956116693073553964noreply@blogger.com
