Ellsworth Kelly at 100: In His Own Words

The seven-decade career of beloved American abstractionist Ellworth Kelly (b. 1923, d. 2015) changed the course of American art. Exploring form, color, line, and space through painting, drawing, sculpture, and more, Kelly persistently tried to get at the "rapture of seeing", prizing immediate visual impact, bold colors, along with shaped and joined canvases.
Hear from the artist in this video, produced for "Ellsworth Kelly at 100" at Glenstone Museum, on view until March 17, 2024.

I enjoyed very much the exhibit at Glenstone. Seeing the early works and progression though his career was remarkable. It gave me a new appreciation for Kelly's work. The drawings and photos included in the exhibit were eye-opening.
Also the Iconoclasts exhibit is outstanding. It was amazing to get a rare opportunity to view Hilma af Klint's work in person. The Lee Krasner work was stunning and the Arshile Gorky pastel is a rare gem.
The de Kooning, Pollock, Kline and Klein (Yves) are also amongst my favs.

I understand your work doesn’t resonate with everyone, but it really moves me.
