Ellsworth Kelly started taking photographs in 1950, using a borrowed Leica to make notations of things he had seen and subjects he 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 him― 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 published on Kelly’s photography, and the artist was closely involved in all aspects of its making.
