Mystery Painting recreated by Laurence and Thomas

by David and Thomas Hello people out there, do you want to be a famous abstract painter? Well now you can because we are going to tell you how to make a famous painting. First you take a rectangular paper and then turn it so that it's longer horizontally than vertically. Next you draw an orange-red rectangle in the left top corner. This should take almost 1/3 of the paper going across and 9/10 going down. To make the color orange-red, mix a small portion of orange with a lot of red. Now rotate the paper 180 degrees and make a purple door with a round arch on the bottom left hand corner. This should take about 1/3 of the paper going across and 9/10 going down. Now color everything else dark green. To make the dark green, mix green with a tiny bit of red. Now you're famous, but just not rich. |
by Thomas and David The recreation of Red Blue Green by Laurence and Thomas was almost perfect. For instance they made the shape and color of the rectangle and the upside-down arched door correctly. Plus they colored everything else green. They also made the rectangles the right size. But we made a couple of mistakes. The first one was that the upside-down round arched door wasn't adjoined to the top of the paper since we didn't tell them to adjoin it to the top of the paper. The second problem was it was too small. We should have said it almost reaches the bottom of the paper. Our painting was called Red Blue Green and it was made by Ellsworth Kelly. The real size of the painting is 84 inches by 136 inches. It was made with painted aluminum in 1963, and it's held in the Courtesy Sidney Janis Gallery in New York. |
