Green and Black - Ellsworth Kelly
Ellsworth Kelly (1923-2015)
Green and Black, 1964
Lithograph, produced for ‘Derriere le Miroir’ no.149 by Galerie Maeght
28 x 38.1 cm (image)
Mounted, ready to be framed
In the fall of 1964, Kelly created a series of collages, related to his ovoid figure-ground paintings of the early 1960's, which formed the basis for 5 lithographic sheets for the November issue of Derrière Le Miroir. The November 1964 installment of Derrière Le Miroir coincided with Kelly's second one-man show at the Galerie Maeght, Paris. Printed by Imprimerie Maeght, Levallois-Perret; published by Maeght Editeur, Paris, 1964. This image was echoed in the painting 'Green Blue Black', 1963 (EK No.306), and is derived from an ink drawing and two collages of 1958, (EK No.58.45-47).
Ellsworth Kelly was a widely influential force in the post-war art world. He first rose to critical acclaim in the 1950s with his bright, multi-paneled and largely monochromatic canvases. Maintaining a persistent focus on the dynamic relationships between shape, form and color, Kelly was one of the first artists to create irregularly shaped canvases. His subsequent layered reliefs, flat sculptures, and line drawings further challenged viewers' conceptions of space. While not adhering to any one artistic movement, Kelly vitally influenced the development of Minimalism, Hard-edge painting, Color Field, and Pop art.
