Red House, 2016

“Red House“ by Alex Katz (American, b.1927) exemplifies the artist`s affinity for simplicity and color. The house itself, a bastion of solidity amid the ephemeral natural surroundings, emanates an almost dreamlike presence. The interplay between the lush green foliage and the striking red of the house creates an arresting visual tension, while the stark shadows serve to anchor the scene, providing a sense of depth and contrast. Here, Katz demonstrates his ability to seize a moment in time and render it eternal, capturing the essence of his subject matter.
