Alex Katz — Moose
Alex Katz

Moose

Alex Katz's *Moose* is a bold woodcut rendered in his signature flat, graphic style, capturing the commanding presence of the animal with simplified forms and a refined color palette. The work exemplifies Katz's mastery of reduction, distilling his subject to its most essential visual elements while maintaining a striking sense of immediacy. Printed on wove paper as a full sheet, the composition reflects his seamless translation of painterly sensibility into the printmaking medium.
