Original screenprint in colors on Saunders Waterford paper - Hand-signed in pencil, and numbered // Ariel 2 by Alex Katz, created in 2021, is a vibrant screen-print that epitomizes Katz's minimalist yet emotionally rich portrait style. The artwork features a close-up of a female face, rendered with clean lines and soft colors. The subject, Ariel, is depicted with a calm and direct gaze, her red hair framing one side of her face. Katz's signature flat planes of color and economy of detail bring out the subject's personality, emphasizing her eyes and expression while leaving out extraneous detail. This focus on simplicity highlights the emotions and nuances of the subject, making the viewer connect more deeply with the figure. The soft tones of peach, light pink, and orange create a warm, inviting palette that enhances the striking features of the figure. The print’s large scale allows for a close, personal engagement with the image, where the minimal strokes and subtle details reveal Katz’s mastery of form and mood.

What is Nouveau Realism?
Nouveau Réalisme is an artistic movement founded in 1960 by art critic Pierre Restany and painter Yves Klein during a collective exhibition at a gallery in Milan. Restany wrote the original manifesto in April 1960, proclaiming the movement. In October of that year, nine artists, including Martial Raysse, Yves Klein, Daniel Spoerri, Jean Tinguely, Arman, Pierre Restany, and three Ultra-Lettrists—Jacques de la Villeglé, François Dufrêne, and Raymond Hains—signed the declaration. In 1961, the movement expanded to include Mimmo Rotella, Niki de Saint Phalle, Gérard Deschamps, and César. The movement emphasized a return to reality in art, often incorporating everyday objects and exploring the boundaries between art and life.
