The artwork titled “Red over Yellow” was created by Ellsworth Kelly in 1965. It belongs to the Hard Edge Painting movement and is categorized within the abstract genre.
The artwork features a simple and balanced composition consisting of two rectangles arranged one above the other. The upper rectangle is red, with rounded corners, while the lower one is yellow and similarly rounded. Both shapes stand out starkly against a neutral background, emphasizing the clear delineation and vibrant contrast between the red and yellow colors. This concise use of form and color exemplifies the principles of Hard Edge Painting, focusing on clarity and precision.
