Alex Katz

Brisk Day I; II; and III

Brisk Day I, II, and III is a complete triptych by Alex Katz comprising three distinct printmaking techniques — woodcut, aquatint, and screenprint in colours — each rendered on Somerset paper. The set exemplifies Katz's signature aesthetic of bold, flat fields of colour and reductive elegance, capturing a fleeting atmospheric moment with crisp precision. Together, the three prints explore how different mediums can interpret a single subject, revealing the subtle expressive qualities unique to each technique.
