Red Tulips (1967) by Alex Katz is a vibrant oil on canvas that captures the artist’s signature flat, bold approach to form and color. The composition focuses closely on the heads of red tulips, their petals painted in simplified planes of crimson and deep red, set against cool green leaves and a muted gray background. The cropped perspective heightens the immediacy of the scene, allowing the flowers to dominate the frame with a sense of both intimacy and monumentality. Katz’s minimal detail and crisp contours distill the subject to its pure visual essence, embodying his refined, modern aesthetic.

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.
