For the 2016 ADAA Show Peter Blum Gallery will present a focused group of small Alex Katz portrait and landscape paintings. These works, which will be no larger than 12 x 16 inches (30.5 x 41.6 cm), are painted directly from life and are an integral part of the artist’s practice. Katz’s small paintings on board are a reflection of his direct experience with family, friends, and the landscapes that surround his summer home in Maine. These paintings are both studies for larger works and unique expressions of the artist’s intimate connection with the subject.
