Train Landscape 1953

"Train Landscape" (1953) by Ellsworth Kelly is a striking example of the artist's signature Hard-edge style, characterized by bold geometric forms and vibrant, flat color. This particular work is composed of three horizontal bands in shades of green and yellow, evoking a simplified landscape, or perhaps a stylized representation of a train track. The composition is both minimalist and impactful, drawing the viewer's attention to the pure color relationships and the precise lines that define the shapes. This piece demonstrates Kelly's exploration of color and form as independent elements, a key aspect of his artistic practice.
