Alex Katz — Brisk Day For Sale

Brisk Day Prints by Alex Katz | Buy & Sell | Guy Hepner

The Brisk Day series captures the particular quality of light on a cold, clear day — the kind of light Katz has studied on the Maine coast and in the streets of New York across six decades of sustained observation.

About the Series

These works are studies in tonal cool: blues and greys sharpened to clarity by cold air, the palette drained of warmth but not of atmosphere. They demonstrate Katz's ability to convey sensation through colour alone — the physical feeling of cold air and bright light rendered as a chromatic event rather than a narrative one.

The Brisk Day works sit within Katz's broader engagement with light as a subject — an engagement that encompasses the gold of late summer afternoons, the silver of overcast skies, and the particular hard clarity of winter. They are among the most atmospherically specific works in his print production.
