The artwork titled “Maxine” was created by artist Alex Katz in 1974 and belongs to the Pop Art movement. It is a portrait painting.
The artwork portrays a woman reclining thoughtfully on what seems to be a couch. She is dressed in a vivid pink garment, her red hair cascading over her shoulder, and her eyes gazing pensively. The background features a cityscape bathed in the soft hues of sunset, with buildings rendered in a minimalist, almost impressionistic style. This urban scenery, coupled with the large window framing it, suggests an intimate yet expansive space. Katz’s work is characterized by its simplicity and elegancy, marrying the quotidian with a sense of poignant introspection.
