Alex Katz – Night: William Dunas Dance women artists halftone patternsAlex Katz's Night: William Dunas Dance (1979) is a suite of four color lithographs that capture the elegance and rhythm of modern dance. Featuring bold, flat fields of color and stylized forms, these limited edition prints reflect Katz's distinct approach to portraiture and movement. The series of signed prints portrays a dancer in flowing, choreographed poses, distilling gesture into simplified yet evocative shapes. Published by Jackie Fine Arts
