- Alex Katz shows us around his New York studio, and talks about his new exhibition at Tate St Ives.
New York has had a profound effect on the shaping of Alex Katz's artistic career. Describing it as an ' impossible, uncivilised place', Katz tells TateShots how the city changed completely after the emergence of Jackson Pollock, and how this in turn led Katz to pursue what he calls 'the immediate present' in his work.
The artist's exhibition at Tate St Ives brought together over 30 canvases, plus collages and cut-outs, spanning the full breadth of his career from the 1950s to now. Given the Gallery's location on the beach, the exhibition placed a special emphasis on Katz's seascapes, as well as images of family holidays and friends, painted in his own seaside retreat of Lincolnville, Maine, where he continues to spend his summers. - Krátké a kreslené filmy

I really like how he talks about painting in no nonsense terms, but really sharp insights.
Some of the best wallpaper I've seen...
LOL
really very beautiful wonderful paintings, cant believe at nearly 90 he is still such a fantastic artist.
His flower paintings are BADASS.....his stuff is amazing
His work certainly got better as he aged. Beautiful!
Alex has a great smile!
Great video! I like the surface quality of the paint in his work.
this studio s amazing !!!!
Beautiful
Your videos keep getting better
run of the mill illustrator .
:39 great picture, tons of great artists in that photograph
I was thinking the exact same
I think the photograph at :40 really shows Keith Haring's vitality and love of life, as well as Basquiat's irreverent sense of humor.
Wow... you're really up on things 😂
nice&best ART !!!!!!!!!!!
I learned a lot in a very short time here….really!
super art
The captions didn’t get the painter he’s referring to at 3:47 - it’s Watteau (before he mentions Rembrandt)
Cool stuff :)
"Abstract is the grammar of my painting" Like that
That man is full of him self, really good artists don't have to be.
This is the first time I have seen a photo of this artist. Before today I have gone through life thinking that Alex Katz was a woman. My ignorance gave me such a different perspective than I have now.
He may be, who knows? 😂
I NEED the background music from this. Someone tell me.
Ethan Rucker Hi Ethan. The music for this film was made by Dom Mino - here's a link to his Soundcloud: soundcloud.com/dom-mino
+Tate Hey, hey. I know I'm a little late on this. But Dom said this wasn't his track. (Though all of his music is fantastic as well.) Any other ideas, friends?
nicht schlecht

So much money
Katz is a normal human being touched by art … it is important i believe, listening artists talking about their craftsmanship and their relationship with their work … its take in composition, color and other relevant artists is meaningful … Tate sometimes show us real artists like Katz … most of the time show us guilt art or pure political propaganda … snobby intellectuals hided behind Tate’s management try to push their political ideas using art label like a disguise … don’t do that … Tate’s legacy its more important that your arrogance and ego … art is forever … politics is just the present
he is only a graphic artist and a mediocre one at that
its sad that you can't see the stillness in his imagery, I agree its hard to see but theres something more in it than pure representation
I have to admit not really understanding the bigger appeal of his images either, but I don't think you can reduce him just to that.
I always thought that too. But there's something haunting and recognizable in his work. Something of Matisse in his simplicity.
The immediate presence is nonsense.
Crazy how kindergarteners don’t get more love for there art cause it’s no different..... it’s all about the people you know in the art world with money 💰
no fan at all of this.
