Lithograph in colors , Rives BFK paper - From Suite of Twenty-Seven Color Lithographs - Signed and numbered in pencil - Published by Maeght, Paris - Literature: Richard Axsom 18 // Dark Blue and Red (Bleu Foncé et Rouge) by Ellsworth Kelly is a striking lithograph from 1964-1965, part of a suite of twenty-seven color lithographs. This minimalist composition consists of two bold, slightly irregular squares of solid color—one in deep blue and the other in bright red—placed side by side, almost touching. The simplicity of form and the intensity of color are characteristic of Kelly’s exploration of pure abstraction, where color and shape are the central elements. Printed on Rives BFK paper and signed by the artist, this work exemplifies Kelly’s mastery of creating dynamic visual impact with minimalistic design, emphasizing balance, harmony, and contrast.

What is late modernism?
Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
