Alex Katz’s portrait of his friend, poet and dance critic Edwin Denby, part of the Bowdoin Museum of Art collection, is highlighted in the Boston Globe. 

Sebastian Smee writes that Katz, at first, found Denby’s poetry “difficult,” which was “a problem for the smooth and concertedly hard-boiled Katz.” Read “Katz’s Portrait Captures ‘Lifelikeness’ of Friend.”
