Bleu Vert Rouge

Ellsworth Kelly American
1963
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 921
À la différence de nombreux peintres de sa génération, Ellsworth Kelly est arrivé à l’abstraction en observant autour de lui. « De l’examen constant des choses me viennent les idées », dit-il. Bleu Vert Rouge, premier d’une série de huit grands tableaux peints de 1963 à 1965 dans les mêmes couleurs, rappelle le Masque, de 1958, fruit des ombres projetées sur un livre ouvert, toujours dans cette même palette. Les aplats simples de couleurs vibrantes et pures de Bleu Vert Rouge produisent un puissant effet optique et créent un lien mouvant entre forme et fond.
