Alex Katz American, born 1927
Vincent and Tony
1969
Alex Katz's 'Vincent and Tony' is a large-scale portrait of two figures rendered in the American painter's signature idiom — flat fields of unmixed colour, simplified contour, and oversized cropping borrowed from advertising and film. Painted in oil on linen, it exemplifies Katz's cool, graphic approach that bridges Pop Art and traditional portraiture, now in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
