Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red


Painting by Ellsworth Kelly.
Title: "Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red"
1966. Oil on canvas, Five panels, Overall: 60 x 240 inches. Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.

If it were me, I think I'd have yielded to the temptation to give it the title "Blue, Green, Yellow, Blue, Red".

Where are indigo and violet?

It's not art if it doesn't have indigo and violet.

Or if it's made in less than an hour. According to Lucy van Pelt.

The painting could be art but the title definitely shows no originality. Naming it as Eolake suggests is art. This way you could have art in the painting and art in the name of the painting.
