Ellsworth Kelly

American · 1923–2015

Minimalism Hard-Edge Painting

Also known as:

Kelly, Ellsworth קלי, אלסוורת'

Kelly's hard-edge paintings and shaped canvases—flat, intensely colored forms against white grounds—are among the purest expressions of postwar American abstraction. Formed in postwar Paris, his visual language of radical simplification drew on observation of shadows, plant forms, and architectural fragments. Major works command above $10 million at auction.
