Untitled is a 1978 graphite by Ellsworth Kelly, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This is a row of small, flat squares of bright color—yellow, red, blue, green—glued onto a light background. The squares are all the same size, arranged neatly in two lines. Some colors repeat, like the two reds or the two blues, but no two squares are identical. The artist cut out each shape and pasted them down, almost like a collage. The edges are sharp, and the colors pop against the plain paper. Look up Ellsworth Kelly next—he made this kind of clean, simple work.
Ellsworth Kelly (May 31, 1923 – December 27, 2015) was an American painter, sculptor, and printmaker associated with hard-edge painting, Color field painting and minimalism.
