Blue Green Yellow Orange Red 1966

Ellsworth Kelly's 1966 abstract painting "Blue Green Yellow Orange Red" is a prime example of his minimalist style. It features six vertical bands of solid color—blue, green, yellow, orange, red—arranged in a simple, yet striking, composition. This large-scale work, now housed in the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, showcases Kelly's focus on pure color and form, highlighting the inherent beauty of basic elements. The painting's visual impact lies in the contrasting hues, creating a dynamic and engaging experience for the viewer.
