"Blue and Red" is a 1951 painting by Ellsworth Kelly, a prominent figure in the Hard-edge painting movement. The artwork is a simple composition consisting of two solid blocks of color: a vibrant blue above a deep red, creating a stark and striking contrast. Kelly's focus on pure color and geometric form underscores his commitment to abstraction and minimalist aesthetic. His works often explore the relationships between color, shape, and space.
