Alex Katz is best known for his large-scale paint- ings of flattened abstracted figures—often portraits of his friends and family. Bathers, executed in the late 1950s, represents a watershed moment in the artist’s career. Through small collages like this—spare compositions made of elemental forms rendered in pure color—Katz honed the aesthetic that characterizes his mature work. A pioneer in creative fiber arts, Lenore Tawney also created a significant body of work in collage. Many of her paper works incorporate weaving techniques using strips of printed paper as well as her own handwriting. When the Morning Star Sang (1984) uses different weights and colors of paper and fabrics, combined with fragments of text in different languages to create a quilt-like composition. This important promised gift of American collage is an invaluable teaching resource for a wide variety of disciplines. It represents a transformative addition to the museum’s works on paper collection, creating a new area of depth that allows SCMA to represent a full range of artistic activity in the medium of collage through works of the very highest quality. 51 Promised gift of Louisa Stude Sarofim, class of 1958.
