Sunrise is a 6-run lithograph, woodcut, screen print with the initial run a 3-color blend roll for the sky, followed by 3 additional lithographic runs of yellow, orange and a dense black. A hand-cut red oak woodcut with a transparent black ink is followed by a final screenprint run also in a very transparent flat black. This technique allows for the rich wood grain to be seen in the depths of the birch trees that are central to the image.

New York born and based artist Alex Katz is a figurative artist whose majority of work revolves around portraits and landscape paintings and prints. In the beginning of his career as an artist, Katz made small collages of people in landscape settings from delicately cutting hand coloured strips of paper. From there he moved on to create paintings which had a greater sense of realism. This was around 1950. It was in this time too that the artist became interested in portraiture, in which he often liked to portray his friends, and Ada, his wife and muse.
