Die Bilder des amerikanischen Malers Alex Katz werden von den renommiertesten Galerien zu Höchstpreisen gehandelt. Als einer der wichtigsten Vertreter des figurativen Realismus malt er seit über fünfzig Jahren vor allem Porträts. Katz hält in seinen Werken kleine Begebenheiten fest, Ausschnitte von Wirklichkeit. Die darin gezeigten Menschen wirken melancholisch, dabei kühl, fast leblos, sind von makelloser Schönheit. Ohne in die Tiefe zu gehen, konzentriert sich ihr Maler ganz auf die Brillanz der Oberflächen. Schon seit Anfang der sechziger Jahre benutzt Alex Katz die für ihn typischen überdimensionalen Formate, inspiriert haben ihn dabei Werbegrafiken von Pepsi oder Lucky Strike oder Bildkompositionen großer Regisseure wie Ingmar Bergman und Michelangelo Antonioni. Ungefähr zu diesem Zeitpunkt beginnt er auch damit, seine Figurenbilder »auszuschneiden«, um in diesen Cutouts - zunächst in Öl auf Holz, später aus Aluminium gefertigt - die Flächenhaftigkeit seiner Darstellungen konsequent auf die Spitze zu treiben. Der exquisite Band versammelt erstmals eine breite Auswahl dieser Silhouettenskulpturen und ermöglicht es dem Leser so, Katz' Werk aus einer neuen, ungewöhnlichen Perspektive zu studieren.

Awesome read aloud for young children. Lyrical, whimsical as it describes anticipation for the holidays. It is a book of change and cause and effect. Calming and poetic as children are engulfed in the story. Thank you!

A perfect read for the Christmas season!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
This beautifully illustrated and lyrical picture book focuses on the little changes in weather, plants, people and more that lead up to Christmas!
While most Christmas books focus on Santa, his reindeer, etc, And Then Came Christmas focuses on the tell-tale signs and traditions that people partake in such as hanging wreaths, searching for the perfect tree to decorate, hanging twinkling lights, and lining up to see Santa!
This unique holiday read-aloud spans the entire 'season of Christmas', from the falling leaves and bare-branched trees to chilly days and glistening white snow and focuses on all our favorite things about Christmas!
The illustrations have a soft and cozy aesthetic that makes this a perfect bedtime or storytime read, especially while snuggled up warm and tight with loved ones while waiting for Christmas!
