At 94, Alex Katz shows no sign of slowing, having painted seven new monumental landscape paintings for his remarkable solo exhibition at Gladstone Gallery.⁠⁠

Filled corner to corner with his characteristic monochromatic palette, his canvases are a sounding board for his crisply articulated technique, where broad strokes and blurred light give the sense of a fleeting moment in time.⁠⁠

'Realist painting has to do with leaving out a lot of detail. I think my painting can be a little shocking in all that it leaves out. But what happens is that the mind fills in what's missing... painting is a way of making you see what I saw'—Alex Katz⁠⁠
