The artwork titled “Rockaway,” created by the artist Alex Katz, belongs to the Pop Art movement and is classified under the genre painting category.
In the artwork, three figures are depicted against a dark, monochromatic background that emphasizes their presence. At the center stands a woman adorned in a pink and lavender dress, her bright red hair framing her face. She is flanked on each side by two men: on the left, a man dressed in a black military uniform with a white cap, and on the right, another man in a dark naval uniform with a matching cap. The simplicity of the background draws focus to the figures, highlighting their stances and expressions. The minimalist details and stark contrasts are characteristic of Katz’s style, evoking a sense of narrative and capturing a moment that invites contemplation and interpretation.
