While we are savoring the simple yet stylish portraits and landscapes of Alex Katz, it is far from obvious who his own influences might be. Describing his personal encounters with the work of over 90 key artists, Katz presents dozens of color reproductions and informed commentary on Francis Bacon, Louise Bourgeois, Paul Cézanne, Leonardo da Vinci, Alberto Giacometti, Philip Guston, David Hockney, Henri Matisse, Joan Miró, Edvard Munch, Barnett Newman, Jackson Pollock, Rembrandt, Henri Rousseau, Titian, Vincent van Gogh, Johannes Vermeer, and a host of contemporary artists.
