Description
In this analysis of the themes of Katz's paintings, Beattie captures the artist's visual messages. The author's analysis covers Katz's portrayal of alienation, placidity, triviality, and meaninglessness, the disturbing realities of the 20th century. She compares Katz's work to contemporary artists such as Avendon, O'keeffe and Stieglitz, and analyzes his narrative themes. She also includes a chapter about Ada, Katz's wife and model. ISBN-0-8109-1212-0 : $27.50.
