Literature: Cantz 97-110. From the portfolio of 14 aquatints in colors on J. Green Hotpress paper. Signed in pencil and numbered. Co-published by Brooke Alexander/Marlborough Graphics, New York, with the blindstamp of the printer, Prawat Laucheron, New York. // Face of the Poet 4 is a colour aquatint on J. Green Hotpress paper by Alex Katz, from the portfolio of fourteen prints created in 1978 (Cantz 97-110), edition of 25 plus 10 artist's proofs. Bold aquatint tones frame a bespectacled figure whose intellectual bearing is conveyed through precise yet economical means. The warm palette of brown, ochre, and terracotta anchors the composition, while the glasses become a focal motif that crystallises the sitter's scholarly persona. Katz transforms a simple head-and-shoulders portrait into a concentrated essay on character, visual style, and the relationship between poet and observer.

What is figurative art?
Sometimes known as Figurativism, figurative art refers to sculptures and paintings that are clearly or specifically derived from real objects, making them representational. The term figurative art is often used in contrast to abstract art. However, since the emergence of abstract art, figurative art has come to describe any form of modern art that has strong references to the real world or actual situations.
