“Kelly tendered drawings of plants and flowers from the late 1940s on. Ailanthus (1948) is the first plant drawing that he executed in Boston, Hyacinth (1949) was the first one he did when he was in Paris.Beginning in 1949, while living in Paris (and influenced in this choice of subject by Henri Mattisse and Jean Arp) he began to draw simple plant and seaweed forms.The plant studies are, for the most part, contour drawings of leaves, stems and flowers done in clean strokes of pencil or pen and centered on the page.”
