"Red Diagonal" is a 2007 painting by Ellsworth Kelly, a leading figure in Minimalism and Hard-edge painting. The piece exemplifies Kelly's exploration of color and form, featuring a vibrant red rectangle set against a stark white background. The red shape's diagonal orientation creates a dynamic tension within the composition, while the simple forms and bold colors invite viewers to engage with the interplay of shape and space. The work is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago.
