In this abstract piece, there are areas resembling envelopes or folded paper, especially in the top portion with interplay of light and dark suggesting depth and layers.

Meanwhile, the horizontal stripe near the bottom and the thin rectangle of red contrast the blue tones.

The Green Cap

Alex Katz, Shiundo Print Shop, Crown Point Press · 1985 · color woodcut on Tosa Kozo wove paper ·  Accession ID  1997.8.101

A vertical print that’s largely made up of the color blue. Made with color woodcut technique. A wood pattern is seen across all the colors. In the top-right portion of the composition, occupying almost a fourth of the paper, is an off-white vertical rectangle, with a smaller red vertical rectangle positioned within it to the right. A sheer white is layered over the red, creating a triangle on the top of the red, with the hypotenuse running from the top right corner of the red rectangle to the middle of the rectangle on the left. Another sheer stroke extends from this midpoint to the bottom of the red rectangle, creating half an “X” ; this “X” shape is reinforced by thin dark blue lines on the white rectangle. There is a thin, dark blue line running vertically through the white rectangle, connecting to the other dark blue lines. Two dark blue lines run horizontally under the white rectangle, and one an equal distance away from the first dark blue line as the first one was to the top, leaving a smaller, but still sizable piece at the bottom. These dark lines extend onto the left of the rectangle where a thin strip of a mix of light colors is, but not onto the right of the blue rectangle where a thin yellow strip is. On the paper itself under the blue rectangle, and these thin strips there is black text on the left and right, both are illegible.
