Drawn from nature : the plant lithographs of Ellsworth Kelly
"An American artist of worldwide renown, Ellsworth Kelly (born 1923) has consistently returned to nature as a subject throughout his extraordinary career. Kelly began making prints in 1964; shortly thereafter he created his first suite of plant lithographs. To date he has produced seventy-two plant lithographs." "Drawn from Nature serves as a comprehensive portfolio of the plant lithographs, accompanied by informative texts on all of these works by Richard H. Axsom. In addition, Axsom provides an insightful discussion of how the lithographs relate to the ink and pencil plant drawings that the artist has produced concurrently with them throughout his career."--Jacket
