About this work

This is a close-up of a woman’s face and shoulders. Her skin is pale, her lips are bright red, and her dark hair falls straight over her left shoulder. The background is a flat red, matching her shirt, which has two small black buttons. The painting looks simple but is made with sharp lines and bold colors. The artist used screenprinting, which explains the clean, graphic feel. Check out Alex Katz to see more of his bold, flat-style portraits.
