Ellsworth Kelly, Photographs

Ellsworth Kelly is credited with inventing a new kind of painting, one inspired by nature but also by the chance compositions he encountered in the world. He started taking photographs in 1950, using a borrowed Leica to make notations of things I had seen and subjects I had been drawing. Unlike his sketches and collages, the photographs were not part of his process of making a painting or sculpture; they were simply a record of his vision. As such, they convey his enthusiasm for the visible world around himâ€• the compositional possibilities to be found in a barn roof, for example, or a tree branch.
Featuring photographs spanning four decades, this is the first book ever published on Kellyâ€™s photography, and the artist was closely involved in all aspects of its making. In the statement that begins the book, he writes, When you look at the world, everything is separateâ€•each thing is in its own space, has its own uniqueness. When I take photographs, I want somehow to capture that.
