Alex Katz — The Orange Band
Alex Katz

The Orange Band

Alex Katz's *The Orange Band* is a bold screenprint rendered in his signature flat, graphic style, featuring simplified forms and a striking use of color that reflects his roots in both fine art and commercial aesthetics. The work showcases Katz's mastery of the screenprint medium, with crisp lines and smooth areas of color printed on the textured surface of Arches Cover paper. His reductive approach to portraiture and figure distills the subject to its most essential visual elements, creating an image that feels simultaneously intimate and coolly detached.
