Specialist note
"The idea of the identity of the artwork as something that does not depict reality but rather coexists in the world with other things is integral to Kelly's thinking and led to a kind of abstraction based entirely on shape and color. This liberated painting for Kelly, enabling him to create artworks that are experienced for the impact of their form alone, as condensed fragments of vision"
