I was forced to stare at an Ellsworth Kelly painting

Ellsworth Kelly was a ground breaking abstract artist and now considered one of the most important American painters of the 20th Century. Here we take a closer look into how he came to his signature style of non representational art.

Although I'm a realistic painter, I love most of his work. I find it difficult to explain to people that don't understand how wonderful his paintings are. Some of the things you said should help. Thanks for making this video.

Thank you so much for watching! And I totally agree- you really need to spend time in person with these works to appreciate them. Seeing pictures in a book or online just won’t do.

Just recently saw an exhibit of his photography and it was very interesting seeing how his process developed/was inspired by his photos. Thanks for another great video.

Was that the one in Santa Barbara? I'm jealous!

"He wanted you to see things that had been around you your entire life... BUT had never noticed" - Well put!

[@christopherwestpresents]

One of my favorites too!

Great presentation. When I first saw Kelly’s work I was mesmerized and inspired.

So good to find someone who had the same reaction as me. Thank you so much for watching!

@@christopherwestpresents I would like to tell you the story of my discovery of his work. But not publicly.
