ART in the PICTURE .com - Artists - Ellsworth Kelly - Quotes


Quotes "The form of my painting is the content. My work is made of single or multiple panels: rectangle, curved or square. I am less interested in marks on the panels than the "presence" of the panels themselves. In "Red, Yellow, Blue," the square panels present color. It was made to exist forever in the present, it is an idea and can be repeated anytime in the future."

"I'm not interested in edges. I'm interested in the mass and color, the black and white. The edges happen because the forms get as quiet as they can be. I want the masses to perform. When I work with forms and colors, I get the edge."

"I'm not interested in the texture of a rock, but in its shadow."


Ellsworth Kelly
