Arts CH: Spotting the differences in an Alex Katz exhibition
Tuesday, 2 April, 2013A new show at the Fine Arts Museum in Lausanne is fun for adults and children alike: it might just as well be called “Spot the Difference”. Paintings by Alex Katz, one of the most famous contemporary American painters have been hung alongside a selection of works by Felix Vallotton, one of Switzerland’s most renowned artists, who lived 100 years ago. The show is like walking through the studio of artists who could very well have been painting side by side. Although Katz was born two years after Vallotton died and knew very little of him, there are uncanny resemblances in the themes that inspired them and in the way they painted. Arts correspondent, Michèle Laird, speaks with Bernard Fibicher, the Director of the Fine Arts Museum to ask him more about the show:
