“I'm not interested in edges. I'm interested in the mass and color, the black and white. The edges happen because the forms get as quiet as they can be. I want the masses to perform. When I work with forms and colors, I get the edge.” WantHappensFormBlackWhiteColorQuietMassEdgesBlack And WhiteNot Interested Author:Ellsworth Kelly
“My forms are geometric, but they don't interact in a geometric sense. They're just forms that exist everywhere, even if you don't see them.” IfsFormGeometric Author:Ellsworth Kelly
“All my paintings are usually done in drawing form, very small. I make notations in drawings first, and then I make a collage for color. But drawing is always my notation.” FirstsDoneFormColorPaintingDrawingCollages Author:Ellsworth Kelly
“The form of my painting is the content. My work is made of single or multiple panels: rectangle, curved, or square. I am less interested in marks on the panels than the 'presence' of the panels themselves. In Red Yellow Blue III the square panels present color. It was made to exist forever in the present; it is an idea and can be repeated anytime in the future.” MadeIdeasFormForeverColorPaintingRedMarkBlueSquaresYellowMultipleRectangles Author:Ellsworth Kelly
