About this work

This is a bold red-and-white portrait of a face. The eyes are big and dark, the mouth is wide with full lips, and the hair is short and swept to the side. The style is simple but striking—just strong lines and flat colors. The artist used woodcut, a printmaking method where ink is pressed into carved wood. The signature in the corner reads "Alex Katz," with a date that looks like 1994. Next, look up woodcut to see how this technique works.
