Ellsworth Kelly was an American painter, sculptor and printmaker. He was one of the major practitioners of abstract art in the USA after World War II; as early as the 1950s he developed an individual approach that influenced the course of Minimal art, colour field painting, hard-edge painting and Post-painterly Abstraction without becoming fully a part of any of these movements.
