Today we remember and celebrate Ellsworth Kelly’s birthday.
Kelly was an American painter, sculptor, and printmaker best-known for his bright, multi-paneled and largely monochromatic canvases.
Kelly’s work maintained a persistent focus on the dynamic relationships between shape, form and color. His subsequent layered reliefs, flat sculptures, and line drawings challenged viewers' conceptions of space. While not adhering to any one artistic movement, Kelly vitally influenced the development of Minimalism, Hard-edge painting, Color Field, and Pop art.
Happy birthday Ellsworth Kelly!
