High Yellow 1960

"High Yellow" (1960) by Ellsworth Kelly is a prime example of Hard-edge painting. Kelly, a prominent figure in the American abstract art movement, utilizes bold colors and geometric shapes to create a minimalist and striking composition. The artwork is known for its simplicity, featuring a large, organic yellow shape set against a backdrop of vibrant blue and green. Kelly's use of solid color and unmodulated surfaces emphasizes the flatness of the canvas and creates a sense of depth through its contrasting planes.
