Every three months, everything looks different. I’m trying to get at that. I don’t want the painting to be like a static image of reality… - Alex Katz, MoMA Magazine, July 2, 2024

Alex Katz: Seasons celebrates the artist’s ever-evolving approach to painting what he terms the “immediate present” of the natural world. Katz begins his process with photographs and small painted sketches which he transforms into large-scale, immersive compositions. In many instances, Katz removes the horizon, allowing the expanse of the painting to create an environment with no clear beginning or end.

The four monumental paintings featured in Alex Katz: Seasons chronicle the changing of the artist's environment over a calendar year. These works belong to four suites of paintings titled for each season that were created by Alex Katz in his New York studio from 2022 - 2023.
