The artwork titled “Spring (Yellow Curve)” was created by artist Ellsworth Kelly in 1984. This piece belongs to the Pop Art movement and is part of the figurative genre. It is also a component of the “Seasons” series.
The artwork presents a distinctive amalgamation of traditional Japanese Ukiyo-e style imagery and Kelly’s signature abstract form. It features a setting depicting an ensemble of Japanese characters on either side of a panel situated in the middle. The panel itself is adorned with a minimalist abstract design; a prominent curve intersecting a space divided into yellow and white sections, enclosed in a black frame. The juxtaposition of the characters engaging in various activities and the modern abstract design creates a striking visual dialogue between the traditional and the contemporary.
