Katryn (from the Smiles series)

2017

This archival pigment print presents Katryn, another subject from Alex Katz's Smiles series, rendered with the same precision and immediacy that characterizes his portraiture practice. The work utilizes premium Crane Museo Max paper to achieve exceptional color fidelity and archival quality throughout its surface. Katz captures the essence of his subject through careful observation and a modernist approach to representation. The print demonstrates the artist's refined technique in translating photographic source material into a finished artwork. Created in 2017, this portrait continues the artist's investigation of contemporary identity and presence.
