Green with Red, from Suite of Twenty-Seven Color Lithographs

A bold field of saturated green dominates the composition, punctuated by a precise rectangle of vivid red that commands the viewer's attention through stark simplicity. Kelly's masterful use of flat, unmodulated color reflects his lifelong dedication to hard-edge abstraction, reducing form and hue to their most essential elements. Printed on Rives BFK paper with full margins, this lithograph exemplifies Kelly's seamless translation of his iconic painted language into the print medium.
