The artwork titled “Red over Yellow from Suite of Twenty-Seven Color Lithographs” was created by the renowned artist Ellsworth Kelly in 1965. This piece belongs to the Hard Edge Painting movement and is a significant example of abstract genre art. It is part of the “Twenty-Seven Color Lithographs” series.
The artwork features a minimalist and geometric composition characterized by two prominent, rounded rectangular forms. The upper form is a vibrant red, while the lower form is a bold yellow. Both forms are set against a plain white background, emphasizing the stark contrast and clean lines typical of the Hard Edge Painting movement. The simplicity of the shapes and the vivid use of color are hallmarks of Kelly’s style, reflecting his focus on form and color as fundamental elements of visual expression.
