- Summary:
- Over the course of more than 50 years, American artist Ellsworth Kelly made approximately 400 postcard collages, some of which served as exploratory musings and others as studies for larger works in other mediums. They range from his first monochrome in 1949 through his last postcard collages of crashing ocean waves, in 2005. Many postcards illustrate specific places where he lived or visited.
