Information about the work

Known for his pared-down style and use of large areas of flat color, Alex Katz (New York, 1927) focuses his work on the simplicity and elegance of everyday life. His lithograph, Dog at Ducktrap, is a perfect example of this approach. The piece depicts a tranquil outdoor scene featuring a long, soft-coated dog sitting in tall, green grass, its tongue sticking out in a relaxed, friendly pose. The background, reduced to simple shapes and flat colors, suggests a serene landscape of water, hills, and distant trees. The contrast between the dog's detailed texture and the softness of the surroundings enhances the visual power of the work and reflects Katz's ability to capture the beauty of the simplest moments with a contemporary and luminous eye.

Alex Katz was born in New York in 1927. He studied at the Cooper Union in New York (1946-1949) and at the Skowhagen School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine. His first solo exhibition was held in 1954. He is considered one of the precursors of Pop Art. At that time, Alex Katz distinguished himself from the Abstract Expressionists by producing figurative paintings in extremely large formats. The fragmentation or repetition of his motifs makes him similar to painters such as Rauschenberg or Warhol.
The artist paints almost exclusively portraits based on the model. He first executes a sketch, then reworks it before enlarging it on canvas. He creates portraits of the New York intelligentsia or stages himself in self-portraits. He paints, without interpretation, the seduction of the subject, their concerns, the mysterious expression of their gaze. His figures stand out against backgrounds that are simultaneously abstract and vividly colored. Alex Katz is sensitive to fashion, to the details of fashion (hairstyles, clothing, symbols, etc.), as well as to the symbols of his time. The artist also paints landscapes, flowers, and seascapes. He collaborates with choreographer Paul Taylor on various shows.
In the early 1970s, his art was appreciated by both the public and critics, who wholeheartedly admired his precise compositions, articulated by bright, relief-free colors on smooth surfaces, and were seduced by the multiple possible meanings hidden behind these images. In the 1980s, Katz ironically encapsulated the joie de vivre of a decade marked by leisure and carefree attitude.
Alex Katz lives and works in New York.

Quick and clear response. Delivery times were met as agreed. Shipping was carried out with great care: protection of the artwork, documentation, etc. Everything was fine. This is striking because the opposite is common. Rating: EXCELLENCE

- Narciso Lozano

Impeccable. Always attentive to their customers and exceptional service. Highly recommended.

- Luis Eduardo Ruiz Santiago

I was treated with absolute transparency via WhatsApp; they knew a lot about the art market and framing. The lithograph arrived today with great care, in a cardboard tube wrapped in onionskin paper. It looks just like the photo! But the size wasn't perfect for me; they need to improve that aspect. A very good virtual experience!

- Marta Vilchez

I have found a product/work that satisfies me and the most correct commercial treatment.
