Ellsworth Kelly (May 31, 1923 – December 27, 2015) was a painter, sculptor, and printmaker from Newburgh, New York. Kelly is known for his hard-edge painting and minimalism. Throughout his career, Kelly’s style grew to include irregularly shaped canvases and multi-panel works. Kelly engaged in technical training at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn until 1943 when he joined the US army, where he worked designing camouflage patterns. In 1946, Kelly used his GI Bill to attend the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and then the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. In addition to several honorary doctorates, Kelly has received commendations including the National Medal of Arts (2012). His works reside in many collections including the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; the Tate Gallery, London; and the Reina Sofia National Museum, Madrid.
