“In his exquisite portraits of blossoms and leaves, just as in his groundbreaking color abstractions, Ellsworth Kelly addresses fundamental artistic questions about the relation of form to contour and the subtle interplay between space and plane, positive and negative, and figure and ground—concerns that underscore his work to this day.” (M. Prather and M. Semff, quoted in Ellsworth Kelly Plant Drawings, exh. cat., Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2011, p. 229.)
