“Méditerannée” by Ellsworth Kelly, created in 1952, belongs to the Hard Edge Painting movement and falls within the abstract genre. This artwork exemplifies the artist’s mastery in creating bold, geometric compositions with a distinct focus on color and form.
The artwork features a grid of nine squares arranged in a three-by-three format, each varying in color. The distinct colors include deep black, bright blue, sunlit yellow, crisp white, rich dark blue, vibrant red, and varying shades of blue. Each square holds its own color, creating a striking juxtaposition that emphasizes the visual impact of the boundaries between them. The work conveys a sense of balance and harmony through the careful placement of contrasting colors, characteristic of the Hard Edge Painting movement.
