“The Meschers” is an abstract artwork created by the artist Ellsworth Kelly in the year 1951, belonging to the Hard Edge Painting movement. The artwork is characterized by its sharp geometric shapes and bold use of solid colors, typical of the genre.
The artwork features a dynamic interplay of green and blue hues. Elongated green shapes are interspersed across a blue background in an irregular yet harmonious arrangement. The green shapes vary in size and form, creating a visual rhythm that leads the viewer’s eye across the composition. This juxtaposition of bright green against a deep blue background exemplifies the principles of Hard Edge Painting through clear and precise delineation of color fields, emphasizing the flatness and abstraction inherent in the artwork.
