The artwork titled “Blue Yellow Red” was created by the artist Ellsworth Kelly in the year 1990. It belongs to the Color Field Painting movement and is categorized under the abstract genre.
The artwork features a minimalist and bold composition consisting of three vertical bands, each in a solid, saturated color. From left to right, the colors are blue, yellow, and red. The delineation between the colors is stark and clean, with no blending or gradation. The simplicity and vibrancy of the colors imbue the piece with a sense of clarity and intensity, characteristic of Kelly’s work and the Color Field Painting movement. The juxtaposition of the primary colors creates a visually striking effect, inviting contemplation on the power of color and form in abstract art.
