Ellsworth Kelly

Light Blue with Orange (Bleu Clair avec Orange), from the Suite of Twenty-Seven Color Lithographs

A bold composition of two flat, unmodulated fields of color — a cool, expansive light blue paired with a vibrant orange — demonstrates Kelly's mastery of color relationships and hard-edge abstraction. Printed on Rives BFK paper with full margins, this lithograph from the *Suite of Twenty-Seven Color Lithographs* reflects the artist's enduring investigation into the optical tension and harmony between pure hues. The work exemplifies Kelly's reductive approach, allowing color itself to function as both form and subject.
