The artwork titled “Morning Nude,” created by artist Alex Katz, belongs to the Pop Art movement and is categorized as a nude painting (nu).
In the artwork, a nude figure is showcased against a contrasting background, emphasized through bold and flat colors typical of the Pop Art style. The subject is depicted in a candid and intimate morning scene, sipping from a cup with relaxed composure. The realism combined with the abstracted, almost simplified rendering of the body’s contours and shading generates a striking visual balance. The use of light and shadow, along with the prominent lines and minimalistic details, underscores the calm and composed atmosphere of the scene, characteristic of Katz’s unique approach within the Pop Art tradition.
