Signed and numbered // Six Aquatints is a portfolio created by Alex Katz in 2013. This series presents six striking black-and-white portraits, executed using the aquatint technique. Katz's minimalist style shines through in these works, where the strong contrast between the black backgrounds and the pale faces of the subjects highlights their features with sharp clarity. Each portrait displays a unique individual, rendered in Katz's characteristic flat, graphic manner, focusing on essential facial elements while omitting unnecessary detail. The repetition of form across the six pieces creates a cohesive visual dialogue between the subjects. Each print measures 74.6 × 86 cm (29.4 × 33.9 in) and the portfolio is signed and numbered by the artist. Katz’s work in this series continues his exploration of portraiture, stripping down the human face to its most essential elements while maintaining an expressive and engaging presence.

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.
