“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

“A lot of young painters love to incorporate celebrity. One idea of being a painter is to use what's happening at the time. Velázquez was painting of his time. And so was Rembrandt. And Francis Bacon was painting his time in London. He was a real mover, but he saw the insect in the rose. But yes, when I do a painting, I want to take the "I did this" out of it. That's why I started using chance, like the markings on the wood. I never wanted to compose.” WantIdeasRealUseWantedYoungChanceSawsPaintingHappeningsRoseWoodsLondonPainterInsects Author:Ellsworth Kelly
