Blue and Red from the series Line Form Color 1951

"Blue and Red" is a 1951 painting by Ellsworth Kelly, part of his "Line Form Color" series. It exemplifies Kelly's minimalist style, focusing on basic geometric shapes and vibrant color relationships. The artwork, consisting of a single, horizontal blue band against a solid red background, explores the interplay of line, form, and color, reducing visual elements to their purest essence. Kelly's abstract works, such as "Blue and Red," are celebrated for their simplicity and the way they engage viewers with the fundamental elements of visual experience.
