Alex Katz's Ada


There's a lot of art in Flirting with Forever--Peter's, Van Dyck's and a trio of other painters that help set up parallels to Peter's own relationship. This is a painting done by Alex Katz of his beloved Ada. While Katz has painted other subjects, he has come back time after time to his favorite subject, Ada, his wife of many decades. I love that you can see how much he loves her, even with wrinkles and gray hair. He always paints her through a lens of deep affection.
