Description
(Text)
Das Werk von Ellsworth Kelly (1923-2015) ist eng mit der abstrakten Hard-Edge-Malerei der 60er Jahre, mit Farbfeldmalerei und Minimal Art verknüpft. Es kommt ohne anspruchsvolle Techniken aus, betont die Einfachheit der Formen, oft durch kräftige Farben unterstützt. Kellys Buch mit seinen schönen, erstaunlich zarten Pflanzen-, Blumen- und Blattzeichnungen erscheint jetzt wieder als zweisprachige gebundene Ausgabe.
(Text)
Ellsworth Kelly is one of the most important living American painters and sculptors. His career is closely tied to the abstract style of "hard-edge" painting in the Sixties, with color field painting and the Minimalist school. His works demonstrate unassuming techniques that emphasize the simplicity of form, frequently enhanced by bright colors. Alongside his geometrical paintings, Kelly is famous for his beautiful drawings of plants, flowers, and leaves, which were shown together with Matisse's plant drawings at the Centre Pompidou in Paris in 2002. His book of drawings and watercolors is appearing to coincide with a large museum show that starts at Graphische Sammlung, Munich, in fall 2011 and which will travel on to the Metropolitan Museum, New York, in spring 2012. Two texts by the curators (Michael Semff, Munich, and Marla Prather, New York) describe the plant drawings in the context of Ellsworth Kelly's oeuvre as a whole.
