Brown and White — Fine Art

Brown and White by Ellsworth Kelly is a flat field of colour set against a lighter ground. The picture keeps the two tones apart without blending them. The shapes stay hard edged and even. Ellsworth Kelly worked with simple colour planes and crisp edges in his practice.

This fine art print sits inside a frame with a white, wood, dark wood or black finish. The frame gives the picture a clear edge on the wall and keeps the brown and white fields from bleeding into the room.

It works on a study wall near a desk. From the doorway you see the two colour blocks, and from the chair you notice the flat fill and the hard line between them.
