Specialist note
« Les formes figuratives dominant les premières œuvres de Kelly faites à Paris devinrent la fondation sur laquelle ses formes abstraites sont basées. Il continua à travailler sur le sujet de la nature dans ses dessins de plantes, fruits et paysages sans – comme il l’a décrit – utiliser de lignes ‘inventées’. » Diane Waldman, Ellsworth Kelly: A Retrospective, Guggenheim New York, 1996
“Figurative forms, which dominated Kelly’s early work in Paris, became the foundation on which his abstract forms are based. He continued to work from nature in his drawings of plants, fruit, and landscape, without – as he described it – resorting to “invented” lines.” Diane Waldman, Ellsworth Kelly: A Retrospective, Guggenheim New York, 1996
