Spectrum 1973

Ellsworth Kelly's "Spectrum" from 1973, is a minimalist painting that exemplifies the artist's focus on color and form. Composed of fourteen vertical bands of saturated color, the work creates a vibrant and dynamic visual experience. Kelly's use of pure, unmixed hues, presented in a linear arrangement, engages the viewer in a contemplation of color relationships and their effect on perception. The simplicity of the composition and the absence of any narrative or representational elements make "Spectrum" a powerful example of abstract art, showcasing the inherent beauty and expressive potential of color itself.
