“Green Curve” is an abstract artwork created by Ellsworth Kelly in the year 2000, and it is associated with the Hard Edge Painting movement. This piece is characteristic of Kelly’s approach to abstraction and minimalist design.
The artwork presents a stark contrast between two distinctly colored areas – a vibrant green and a pure white. These two areas meet in a clean, curving line that gives the painting its name, “Green Curve.” The green section appears to be a large, solid field of green color that dominates the canvas, while the white part serves as a negative space that enhances the curvature and provides a strong visual impact without any intricate detail. The simplicity and the clear, crisp boundaries between the two color fields are indicative of the Hard Edge technique, where color and form are simplified to their most elemental aspects.
