Ellsworth Kelly — Black with White
Ellsworth Kelly

Black with White

A bold and striking lithograph by Ellsworth Kelly, *Black with White* exemplifies the artist's mastery of hard-edge abstraction through the stark contrast of two opposing tones. The work distills form to its essence, presenting a precise interplay of black and white that challenges the viewer's perception of shape, space, and boundary. Printed on Rives BFK paper with full margins, the composition benefits from the subtle texture and weight of the surface, grounding the graphic intensity of Kelly's reductive visual language.

Medium
Lithograph, on Rives BFK paper, with full margins.
