As part of the Art Committee film series, Ellsworth Kelly: Fragments (2007) will be shown in the Large Meeting Room at 3:30 pm. Ellsworth Kelly is widely regarded as one of the most important abstract painters, sculptors and printmakers working today. Kelly insists on the connection between abstraction and nature from which he extrapolates forms and colors. Since the beginning of his career, Kelly’s emphasis on pure form and color and his impulse to suppress gesture in favor of creating spatial unity have paved a pivotal role in the development of abstract art in America. The hour-long documentary, shot in High Definition, elucidates the true complexity of the artist’s work. Running time: 1 hour 5 minutes.
