“Tablet #153”, an abstract work by Ellsworth Kelly, is an exemplar of the Minimalism art movement. The artwork is a testament to Kelly’s distinctive style, characterized by bold colors and geometric shapes.
The artwork features a series of rectangular compositions, each showcasing a limited palette of vibrant colors such as red, blue, green, yellow, and black. These colors are arranged in various forms including solid blocks, horizontal stripes, and circular forms. The simplicity of the shapes and the clarity of the colors create a visual impact that is both striking and minimalist. The compositions lack intricate details but offer a profound engagement through their simplicity, emphasizing form, color, and spatial relationships.
