The artwork, titled “Study for Rebound,” was created by Ellsworth Kelly in 1955. This piece belongs to the Hard Edge Painting and Minimalism movements and is categorized within the abstract genre.
The artwork presents a striking composition characterized by its simplicity and stark contrast. It features two large, black, curved forms placed against a white background. These forms are arranged symmetrically, slightly touching at their inner edges to create a subtle sense of balance and tension. The clean, crisp lines and the stark contrast between the dark and light areas draw attention to the shapes themselves, embodying the principles of both Hard Edge Painting and Minimalism. In its essence, the artwork emphasizes purity of form and the visual impact of geometric abstraction.
