Azul verde rojo

Ellsworth Kelly American
1963
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 921
A diferencia de muchos pintores de su generación, Kelly crea sus abstracciones mediante la observación de su entorno. Ha declarado que «mis ideas nacen del continuo estudio de la apariencia de las cosas». Azul verde rojo, la primera de una serie de ocho pinturas de gran tamaño en esos colores completadas entre 1963 y 1965, nos recuerda la obra de 1958, Máscara, compuesta con los mismos colores y basada en sombras proyectadas sobre un libro abierto. Las tensas formas planas y los colores puros y vibrantes de Azul verde rojo crean un poderoso efecto óptico y establecen una relación fluctuante entre las figuras y el fondo.
