Ellsworth Kelly<br />
Sketchbook 23 1954<br />
This reproduction <strong>of</strong> Ellsworth Kelly’s 1954 Sketchbook 23, <strong>of</strong>fers a rare glimpse into <strong>the</strong> celebrated artist’s rigorous<br />
exploration <strong>of</strong> line, form and composition. Drawn into a blank book, Kelly’s line forms a continuous gesture over<br />
25 pages as <strong>the</strong> artist saw and captured <strong>the</strong> changing fall <strong>of</strong> shadows while riding on a bus in Paris, pursuing a path <strong>of</strong><br />
eccentric discovery and distillation through subtle variations and bold transformations.<br />
Ellsworth Kelly was born in Newburgh, New York, in 1923. His first one-person exhibition was held in 1951 in Paris,<br />
where <strong>the</strong> artist was studying on <strong>the</strong> G.I. Bill following World War II. He returned to <strong>the</strong> United States in 1954, renting<br />
a studio in downtown New York City, and his position among America’s most esteemed painters began to take form.<br />
Since that time, <strong>the</strong> artist’s work has been <strong>the</strong> subject <strong>of</strong> numerous major retrospectives worldwide and is presently<br />
included in all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> most important public collections <strong>of</strong> contemporary art. Kelly currently lives and works in upstate<br />
New York.<br />
