Locust (Acacia), from Suite of Plant Lithographs

A precise and elegant lithograph by Ellsworth Kelly, this work captures the delicate botanical form of a locust (acacia) branch with the artist's characteristic sensitivity to natural contour and line. Kelly reduces the plant to its essential silhouette, rendered in crisp, confident strokes that bridge the worlds of representation and abstraction. Printed on Rives BFK paper with full margins, the composition emphasizes the quiet beauty of organic form against open white space.
