Ellsworth Kelly — Blue/Black/Red/Green
Ellsworth Kelly

Blue/Black/Red/Green

A vibrant interplay of bold, flat color, this lithograph showcases Kelly's signature minimalist approach through four distinct, precisely delineated fields of blue, black, red, and green. The work exemplifies his lifelong investigation into the expressive power of pure color and hard-edged form, stripped of any representational or gestural content. Kelly's masterful arrangement invites the viewer to experience color as both subject and sensation.
