Vertical Lines from the series Line Form Color 1951

Ellsworth Kelly's "Vertical Lines" from the "Line Form Color" series (1951) exemplifies his minimalist aesthetic. The piece consists of a series of evenly spaced, black vertical lines drawn on a white ground, highlighting the fundamental elements of line and form. This artwork is a prime example of Kelly's exploration of pure abstraction and his focus on geometric shapes, laying the groundwork for his later, more complex works.
