Christian Wurst, Curatorial Assistant to the Deputy Director for Curatorial Affairs at the Blanton, discusses Ellsworth Kelly’s 1948 drawings of 12th century Apocalypse manuscripts and how they influenced his use of color and composition. Launched in conjunction with the opening of Ellsworth Kelly’s “Austin” in 2018, this informal series explores interesting facets of Kelly’s practice, from his service in the Ghost Army during World War II to his postcard collages, a little-known, fascinating body of work.
