The subject matter of his sculptures and paintings is deceptively
simple: most works
depict one seemingly innocuous subject (often pastel - hued children and animals
drawn with confident, cartoonish lines) with little or no background.
While many other artists of his generation were appropriating images of American flags or movie stars or newspaper clippings, Mr. Kelly was relentlessly immersed in abstraction: creating color spectrums and panel paintings with nothing but a giant curve or rectangle, or making
drawings depicting the
simple outline of a leaf.»
I am saying that it is time to
draw out the worse case scenarios in terms that people can understand: Pictures of the North Pole
depicting before and after the ice melts away, Pictures of the U.S.A and Canada before and after the ice melts away, Pictures of Northern Europe and Great Britain, Pictures of China and Russia and Japan, Pictures of South Asia and India and Australia, Pictures of Africa would all be better at conveying the
simple message that the face of the earth is changing and it is time to seek high ground.
