Additional Information

The yellow house here is Katz’s Lincolnsville summer house in Maine. Although Katz is well known for his large-scale works, he usually begins each piece with a small oil painting from life, which is then used as a study for the larger work. These small oil sketches are full of energy, as Katz says, "A sketch is very direct. It is working empirically, inside of an idea."

His stylised paintings are a modern take on the classical themes of portraiture and landscapes, using flat colour and an economy of line.
