Red-Orange

Ellsworth Kelly

1964–65

Lithograph in red-orange

Minneapolis Institute of Art

Ellsworth Kelly distills the observed and experienced world into abstracted forms or fragments. He articulates these reductive geometric forms in sculpture, paintings, and prints, by emphasizing their physical and material qualities--size, shape, color, mass, edges, and surface texture. The result, as seen in this monochromatic lithograph, is elegant in its stark simplicity and conceptual refinement. Gallery Not on View Gift of Carolyn and Bob Nelson
