Ellsworth Kelly’s paintings and sculptures are the heroes of this visual exploration of opposites.
Up, Down & Other Opposites pairs different combinations of Ellsworth Kelly’s paintings and sculptures to teach the youngest readers all about the concept of opposites. The differences between pairs of artworks range from ‘together / apart’ to ‘vertical / horizontal’, from ‘full / empty’ to ‘front / back’ [of a canvas!], forming both an expected and an unexpected visual vocabulary. Created in partnership with the Ellsworth Kelly Foundation, the book includes some of Kelly’s most famous works, as well as some of his lesser-known pieces, creating both diversity and playful surprises.
Ellsworth Kelly was an American painter, sculptor, and printmaker who became known, post-WWII, as one of the country’s leading abstract artists. His work is internationally known, exhibited, awarded, auctioned, and celebrated.
