The artwork titled “Red Yellow Blue,” created by artist Ellsworth Kelly in the year 2000, belongs to the Hard Edge Painting art movement and falls within the genre of abstract art.
The artwork is a striking composition defined by the utilization of primary colors: red, yellow, and blue. It features a large square block of blue as its background, upon which a prominent yellow square is superimposed. This yellow square is further complemented by a striking red square, which, despite being the smallest of the three, stands out due to its vivid hue. Kelly’s minimalist approach and precise geometric forms exemplify the essence of the Hard Edge Painting movement, characterized by sharp edges and clearly delineated areas of color.
