Ellsworth Kelly (1923–2015) was a leading figure in American abstract art, recognized for his minimalist paintings defined by sharp outlines and vivid, flat colors. Born in Newburgh, New York, Kelly served in World War II before moving to Paris, where his encounters with European avant-garde art shaped his approach. Over his career, Kelly distanced himself from the expressive gesture of Abstract Expressionism, instead focusing on the essential interplay of form, color, and space. His large-scale works—held in major museums and collections—reflect a commitment to the fundamentals of visual perception, marking a significant contribution to the development of minimalism and abstraction.
