The artwork, titled “White and Black,” was created by Ellsworth Kelly in 1952. This piece belongs to the Hard Edge Painting movement and falls under the abstract genre.
In the artwork, one observes a deliberate use of stark contrast between white and black rectangular blocks. The composition is meticulously arranged to create a rhythmic pattern, illustrating the essence of Hard Edge Painting with its sharp, well-defined areas of color. Each segment is thoughtfully placed, allowing the viewer’s eye to navigate through a structured path of alternating hues. The simplicity and precision of “White and Black” emphasize form and purity, reflecting Kelly’s dedication to abstraction and minimalism.
