Indepth Arts News: "Ellsworth Kelly: The Early Drawings. 1948-1955" 1999-09-11 until 1999-12-05 The Art Institute of Chicago Chicago, IL, USA United States of America
While studying in Boston and subsequently
Paris, Kelly was influenced by the
architectural profiles and cast shadows of
buildings, arches, and bridges.
De-emphasizing realistic representation, he
began to develop the reduced geometric
forms for which he is so well-known. Kelly
allowed the laws of chance to determine
colors and arrangements, after meeting
Surrealist artist Jean Arp in 1950. The exhibit
reflects Kelly's early development as one of
this country's most influential abstract artists.
The Chicago installation is curated by Mark
Pascale, Assistant Curator, Department of
Prints and Drawings, The Art Institute of
Chicago.
