Ellsworth Kelly — Red-Orange over Black
Ellsworth Kelly

Red-Orange over Black

A bold composition by Ellsworth Kelly, *Red-Orange over Black* showcases his mastery of hard-edge abstraction through the dynamic interplay of two powerful color forms. The vibrant red-orange shape commands attention as it asserts itself over a grounding field of deep black, creating a striking visual tension. Executed as a screenprint in colors on Special Arjomari paper, the work exemplifies Kelly's lifelong dedication to pure color, form, and the expressive potential of geometric simplicity.
