Oil on canvas
While Kelly's works might appear to be purely nonrepresentational compositions of shape and color, they are in fact distillations of forms found in the natural and man-made world. Depending on one's perspective, the black and white parts of the canvas project or recede, altering one's interpretation of the image-the white form could, for example, be a close up detail of the moon against a black sky. Gift of Virginia and Bagley Wright (by exchange) with funds from the Margaret E. Fuller Purchase Fund and with funds from the National Endowment for the Arts Leo Castelli Gallery, New York City; purchased by Seattle Art Museum, Seattle,
