About the Work

This 1964 lithograph reflects Ellsworth Kelly’s enduring investigation of form, color, and visual perception. Influenced by early experiences in birdwatching, Kelly developed a heightened sensitivity to natural shapes and color relationships. These observations evolved into the distilled compositions for which he is internationally recognized—where abstraction becomes a direct response to the physical world rather than a symbolic or narrative one.

As noted by author E.C. Goossen, Kelly’s use of two- and three-color structures can be traced to these early encounters with nature, particularly in the study of vividly colored birds. This work exemplifies that clarity of vision, presenting a balanced and immediate visual experience through simplified form.
