Ellsworth Kelly (May 31, 1923 – December 27, 2015) was an American artist known for his contributions to hard-edge painting, Color Field painting, and minimalism. His work, often featuring bright colors, emphasized line, color, and form, akin to John McLaughlin and Kenneth Noland. Kelly lived and worked in Spencertown, New York. In the mid-1960s, he began focusing on printmaking, producing his “Suite of Twenty-Seven Lithographs” (1964–66) in Paris. From 1970, he collaborated mainly with Gemini G.E.L., creating notable series like the “Suite of Plant Lithographs” and “Mirrored Concorde” (1971). His eighteen-foot “Purple/Red/Gray/Orange” (1988) is one of the largest single-sheet lithographs ever made. Kelly’s fascination with water is evident in his later works, including “The River” series. In 1975, he was the first artist to exhibit in the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art’s MATRIX series. Known for his single-color, shaped canvases, Kelly’s work, such as “Block Island Study” (1959), is marked by subtle, precise lines and an implied perfection.
