It's hard to imagine anyone not appreciating the oeuvre of Alex Katz; it always seems so even-handed. Study this painting and it's surprising how he took so few colors and elements to convince us we're deep in a summer forest. The final, singular daubs of paint really make this believable to the point of sensing the wind and almost hearing sounds. Isn't it magic how this painting, which is actually very restrained, can feel so lavish?
