Study for Rebound 1955

"Study for Rebound" (1955) is a striking black and white abstract painting by Ellsworth Kelly. The work features two large, curved black shapes that almost touch at the center of the composition, creating a strong sense of tension and anticipation. Kelly's minimalist style is known for its emphasis on pure form and color, and this work exemplifies his commitment to these principles. The stark contrast between black and white further enhances the dynamism of the shapes.
