Wesselmann shared Katz's bold use of flat color fields and graphic female portraiture rooted in Pop Art aesthetics, frequently isolating figures against vivid red and primary color backgrounds with a similarly cool and precise visual language.
Patrick Nagel

Nagel created highly stylized screenprints and illustrations of women using stark minimalist composition, flat color blocking, and a graphic commercial sensibility that closely mirrors the clean figurative elegance seen in this Katz portrait.
