The Pleasure of Seeing: The Plant Drawings of Ellsworth Kelly

Ellsworth Kelly has made figurative drawings alongside his abstract work since the late 1940s. A nature enthusiast from childhood, Kelly favors simplified, close-up studies of plant forms that, like his color abstractions, derive from the close observation of his physical environment. Explore the artist’s plant drawings within the context of his work across several media. With Marla Prather, curator, Department of Modern and Contemporary Art, MMA.
