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. Ausstellung: Deichtorhallen Hamburg 13.2.-27.4.2003

Pretty funny
Format: Hardcover
The book gives us a more focused outlook on Chieg Wiggum. Full of its funny moments, I`d recomend this to huge Simpsons fans as it seems the shows writers managed to give us another hit.

Not the best, but not the worst either
Format: Hardcover
By any means not the funniest book in the series, only the one on Krusty the Clown was more un-funny; but still a worthy addition to your collection and, just like all the others from the series providing a retrospective of anecdotes you might have forgotten.

Not that great
Huge "The Simpsons" fan. I watched all the episodes and read a lot of the comics and enjoy most. This one however was quite boring. Turns out I'm just not a big fan of Chief Wiggum. I really enjoyed The "Homer" and "Bart" book. But not this one. Maybe if you love Wiggum you'll love it. If you're not too fond of him then I wouldn't buy it.

Good for my collection.
Format: Hardcover
This was another quick and entertaining read. This instalment wasn't as enjoyable as some of the other books but it was still good. I'm glad to have it in my collection.
