Blu verde rosso

Ellsworth Kelly American
1963
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 921
Kelly, a differenza di molti pittori della sua generazione, arrivò alla pittura astratta tramite l’osservazione dell’ambiente che lo circondava. “Le mie idee” affermò, “derivano da una continua indagine su come appaiono le cose”. Blu verde rosso, il primo di una serie di otto dipinti di grandi dimensioni con questi colori portati a termine tra il 1963 e il 1965, ricorda il dipinto di Kelly Maschera del 1958, eseguito con lo stesso schema di colori e basato su ombre proiettate su un libro aperto. Le forme tese e piatte e i colori vibranti e uniformi di Blu verde rosso creano un potente effetto ottico, stabilendo un rapporto oscillante tra figura e fondo.
