Red Orange White Green Blue — Fine Art

Red Orange White Green Blue shows four flat colour bands stacked on a white ground. The bands are not the same width. Each block keeps a hard edge, with no soft lines or shading. The picture belongs to the hard edge painting style that Ellsworth Kelly used through his career.

This fine art print sits on a wall where daylight reaches part of the surface. The matte paper keeps the bright hues soft and the white field stays open.

In a dining room, the four colour bands read from the doorway before you sit down. The smallest marks on the print stay clear when you stand near the table. The brightness of the orange and blue breaks up the pale walls.
