Masterpieces to Mathematics
Fraction, Decimals, and Percentages in Optical Art
Ellsworth KellyAmerican artist, “Twentieth-century painter and sculptor”
In the 1950’s, “Kelly experimented with color-fielding painting…using a grid system with warm and cool colors to create optical effects on the canvas.”
