Happy 89th birthday to Ellsworth Kelly!
Red Green Blue is one of the few canvases executed in the 1960s in which Kelly chose not to separate the colors into individual panels, a practice he had begun during his years in Paris. In fact, Kelly started this painting in New York in September of 1964 and finished it in October at Joan Miró’s studio in Levallois, France, prior to its first showing Paris.
