His paintings are like an unmade bed after an evening of lovemaking. I’m bored of Alex Katz. His paintings are like an unmade bed after an evening of lovemaking.

And its pretty raunchy. Now those pictures make me blush because I am thinking about what those people are talking about. And its pretty raunchy.

They're very straightforward. At least that's the way I try to make them. That's my intention." Or "I don't have any beliefs in anything." Etc etc. Oh yeah, forgot to mention, there’s an interview with Katz in the 8th issue of Combo magazine which is in some ways terribly awkward — he basically evades a lot of the questions and leaves Abby Susik (poet & art history grad student at the time) squirming — but also has some interesting comments in it He says of his own painting, “I never thought of it as ironic…I do things in multiple but they’re not ironic.

The more I think about it, it really is part and parcel -- it makes me TOTALLY want an episode of SIAS set at a gallery opening for a Mitch Magee show. That would RAWQ SOOO HARD!

I love his paintings, and I also love how he is this gruff-ass, salty old New Yorker. He sounds like Johnny Ramone when he talks, and yet makes paintings like this...
