Artists in conversation
Alex Katz
American · b. 1927
Katz creates bold, flat figurative portraits of women with a sophisticated and modern sensibility that closely mirrors the aesthetic of Madame L. His use of strong color fields and simplified forms in portraiture shares the same graphic, contemporary quality found in Liu Ye's silkscreen work.
Yoshitomo Nara
Japanese · b. 1959
Nara produces colorful and contemporary figurative works with a distinctly East Asian perspective that parallels Liu Ye's approach to modern portraiture. His bold, graphic style and fusion of pop sensibility with portraiture echo the fashionable and sophisticated tone of Madame L.
Mel Ramos
American · b. 1935
Ramos worked extensively with silkscreen and printmaking techniques to create bold, colorful female portraits rooted in pop art and contemporary fashion imagery. His sophisticated and vivid approach to depicting women shares strong stylistic parallels with the graphic femininity and modern elegance of Madame L.
