Plate Four, 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.
