亚历克斯·卡茨是生于布鲁克林的美国当代画家,也是现今个人风格辨识度最高的艺术家之一。他在美术史上一直游离于各流派的边缘,评论界对他的界定也各不相同,有人称其为波普艺术先驱。其广告牌画风的作品的确带着浓厚的商业气息,以至于热衷波普艺术的人大多都会喜欢卡茨。但他并不愿被贴上“波普”的标签——卡茨本人坚称他不属于任何流派,他的绘画是独立于波普艺术的一个特殊存在。 Alex Katz is a contemporary American artist born in Brooklyn and one of the most recognizable artists in the world today. He has always been in the history of art on the brink of the genre, the critics also defined him differently, some people call it pop art pioneer. His billboard style works do indeed have a strong commercial flavor, so that most people who love Pop Art will Katz. But he did not want to be labeled as “Pope” - Katz himself insisted he did not belong to any genre, and his painting was a special existence independent of Pop Art.
