The artwork entitled “Red, Yellow, Blue,” created by Ellsworth Kelly in 1951, belongs to the Hard Edge Painting movement and represents the abstract genre.
The artwork exemplifies the Hard Edge Painting style through its use of distinct, sharply-defined blocks of color. Divided into three horizontal sections, the artwork features a bold red segment at the top, a vibrant yellow in the middle, and a deep blue at the bottom. Each color is applied uniformly, creating a visual experience that highlights the contrast and harmony between primary colors. The simplicity and geometric precision of the composition resonate with the principles of abstraction, focusing on pure form and color.
