Red Yellow Blue 2000

Ellsworth Kelly’s "Red Yellow Blue" is a geometric dance of color laid down on the canvas. I imagine him, brush in hand, carefully plotting each vibrant plane, almost like city planning but with feeling. There’s something so bold about using simple shapes and primary colors. It’s like he’s saying, "Look, this is all you need." I can almost feel the weight of the yellow as it presses against the cool blue, the red adding this punchy contrast. It’s not just about what we see, but how these colors vibrate and push against each other. Kelly’s exploration of form and color reminds me a little of Mondrian, but with a smoother, more sensual edge. It’s as if he wants us to get lost in the pure experience of seeing, to feel the joy and tension in these shapes. I mean, isn't that what art is all about? A good conversation between artists and viewers, across time, inspiring new ways of seeing and feeling.
