“Tablet #91” by Ellsworth Kelly is a prominent example of the Minimalist art movement, categorized as abstract art. The artwork features a combination of bold shapes and colors against neutral backgrounds, indicative of Kelly’s minimalist style.
In the artwork, different compositions are arranged on a white background. On the left, a large red and black organic shape captures immediate attention. Adjacent to this, several smaller sketches in muted tones are positioned, displaying studies of form and color. The bottom left corner hosts a pair of striking blue and white rectangular shapes, adding a touch of vibrancy. Central to the composition is a larger beige sheet containing multiple small diagrams and sketches, predominantly in shades of black and red, showcasing preliminary shapes and iterations. To the right, a minimalist sketch in pencil outlines simplified forms, adding depth to the overall composition. The juxtaposition of these varied elements illustrates Kelly’s dedication to exploring abstraction and minimalism through a thoughtful arrangement of color, shape, and form.
