About this work

You see a wide, flat forest of dark green trees against a pale sky, printed in two colors. Katz carved the same tree shape over and over into wood and linoleum blocks, then stamped them side by side. The repetition makes the scene feel still, almost like wallpaper. It’s not about one tree—it’s about the idea of a forest. Look up more prints by Alex Katz.
