Red Blue Green 1963

Ellsworth Kelly’s 1963 painting "Red Blue Green" is a classic example of hard-edge abstraction. The work features three bold colors—red, blue, and green—arranged in a simple, geometric composition. The flat, solid shapes and clean lines create a sense of order and balance, while the contrasting colors add a dynamic energy to the canvas. The painting embodies the minimalist aesthetic that was prevalent in the 1960s, emphasizing form and color over narrative or emotional expression. "Red Blue Green" is currently housed at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD), a leading institution for modern and contemporary art.
