In Sunrise 1 by Alex Katz, the viewer is presented with a portrait of a blonde woman adorned with a purple sun hat, set against a backdrop of flat light pink. Katz's simplistic approach is evident in the minimal detail used to render the woman's face, yet it exudes a sense of serene beauty and charm.
The woman's features are delicately outlined with clean, precise lines, capturing her likeness with a semi-realistic quality. Despite the simplicity of the composition, there is a depth and warmth to her expression that invites the viewer to engage with the painting on a personal level.
