Plate Two, from The Mallarmé Suite

Prints and Drawings

1992

Ellsworth Kelly (American, 1923-2015)
printed by Bruce Porter at Trestle Editions (New York)
published by The Limited Editions Club (New York)

Four prints comprise Kelly’s Mallarmé Suite; they owe little visually to their poetic sources. Their simple design masks the complexity of their creation, which perhaps alludes to Mallarmé’s ultimate goal of aesthetic transcendence.
