Grape Leaves II 1974

"Grape Leaves II" is a 1974 work by American artist Ellsworth Kelly, known for his minimalist style and focus on pure form. The piece features a simple, yet striking, depiction of grape leaves rendered in black lines on a white background. This black and white line drawing is reminiscent of Kelly’s earlier work in which he sought to capture the essence of natural forms, like leaves, in pared-back, geometric shapes. The artwork is a testament to Kelly's ability to distill the natural world to its most essential elements.
