Alex Katz's collages, including 'Cat' (1959) and 'Rowboat' (1964), explored intricate relationships. Robert Motherwell integrated drawn components with newspaper snippets, while Ellsworth Kelly's 'Horizontal Nude' (1974) showcased material contrasts. Significant pieces included Willem de Kooning's 'Woman' (1969-70) and Henri Matisse's 'Alga on Green Background' (1947). Other artists like William King, Lee Krasner, and Frank Stella also contributed, demonstrating the innovative impact of these methods on contemporary art.
