Color aquatint on Cartiere Magnani Corona 400 g paper - Portfolio: Small Cuts (1954-58/2008) - Literature: Klaus Albrecht Schröder 476-48 - Sheet: 13.75 x 20 inches (34.8 X 50.5 cm) - Image: 10 x 14.5 inches (25.4 x 36 cm) - Hand-signed and numbered by the artist on the front. // Red Sails by Alex Katz, a 2008 color aquatint from his Small Cuts portfolio, is a minimalist seascape that features a solitary sailboat with striking red sails against an expanse of calm water and sky. The composition is divided into two horizontal sections: the top half is a muted grayish tone representing the sky, while the bottom half is a vivid orange, symbolizing the sea. The tiny sailboat, positioned near the horizon, draws the viewer's focus with its bold, contrasting sails, evoking a sense of solitude and tranquility on the open water. This limited edition print, created on Cartiere Magnani Corona paper, highlights Katz’s mastery of abstraction and color, capturing the essence of a seascape with elegant simplicity.

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.
