Your skeletal system isn't just your bones; it's your bone marrow, cartilage, and ligaments all make up this important body system. As an embryo, you are made up almost completely of cartilage. Cartilage is tough, yet elastic connective tissue. As the embryo develops, the cartilage is replaced with bone.
Synopsis. 1  Alex Katz is a New York based painter and printmaker, specializing in boldly simplified portraits and landscapes. Though influenced by American Scene artists as well as diverse elements of European and American modernism, he has avoided affiliation with any group or movement.
At 85, Alex Katz is hailed by some as the most important painter in the US. But acclaim came relatively late in life, perhaps because his work doesn't fit convenient categories. An exhibition of his work has just opened at Turner Contemporary in Margate.
