Yvonne, from Black Dress Series
A striking example of Alex Katz's signature flat, graphic style, this screenprint depicts a figure rendered in bold, simplified planes of color against a stark background. The work's reductive approach to portraiture — eliminating detail in favor of strong contours and broad color fields — reflects Katz's deep engagement with American modernism and his fascination with contemporary elegance. As part of the *Black Dress* series, the image distills its subject to an iconic, almost cinematic presence.
