About Triangle Form

The artwork titled “Triangle Form” was created by the artist Ellsworth Kelly in the year 1951. It is associated with the Minimalism and Concretism art movements and falls within the abstract genre.

The artwork features a black, equilateral triangle positioned against a plain, white background. The simplicity and stark contrast between the black shape and the white space epitomize the minimalist aesthetic. The triangle is placed centrally within the composition, allowing the viewer’s focus to be drawn to the geometric form itself, eschewing any extraneous details or embellishments. The clear definition of lines and the monochromatic color scheme underscore the principles of Concretism, emphasizing form and structure as fundamental elements of the piece. This work exemplifies Kelly’s commitment to exploring the purity of geometric forms and the spatial relationships between them.
