Alex Katz — Harbor #2
Alex Katz

Harbor #2

Alex Katz's *Harbor #2* is a bold and reductive oil on linen painting that captures the essence of a waterscape through his signature flat, graphic style. Katz distills the scene into sweeping expanses of color, balancing sky, water, and horizon with a cool, elegant economy of form. The work reflects his mastery of large-scale abstracted representation, evoking both the stillness and luminosity of a harbor through confident, minimal brushwork.
