Blue Green Yellow Orange Red

"Blue Green Yellow Orange Red" by Ellsworth Kelly exemplifies his mastery of Color field painting. The abstract composition features bold, adjacent color blocks arranged on a canvas, emphasizing pure color, form, and line. Kelly's unassuming technique creates a vibrant, minimalist visual impact typical of hard-edge and minimalist styles. Bright, saturated colors—ranging from blue to red—are applied with precise oil paints, highlighting his focus on color's expressive power. Living and working in Spencertown, New York, Kelly’s work challenges viewers to appreciate color and form in their simplest, most fundamental qualities.
