Plate Two, from The Mallarmé Suite

1992

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

United States

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.
