Ellsworth Kellys paintings and sculptures are the heroes of this visual exploration of opposites

Up, Down & Other Opposites pairs different combinations of Ellsworth Kellys paintings and sculptures to teach the youngest readers all about the concept of opposites. The differences between pairs of artworks range from together / apart to vertical / horizontal, from full / empty to front / back [of a canvas!], forming both an expected and an unexpected visual vocabulary. Created in partnership with the Ellsworth Kelly Foundation, the book includes some of Kellys most famous works, as well as some of his lesser-known pieces, creating both diversity and playful surprises.

Ellsworth Kelly was an American painter, sculptor, and printmaker who became known, post-WWII, as one of the countrys leading abstract artists. His work is internationally known, exhibited, awarded, auctioned, and celebrated.
