Video interview with Ellsworth Kelly. He discusses his approach to drawing and printmaking on the occasion of the exhibition Ellsworth Kelly: Prints and Paintings on view at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art through April 22, 2012.

Kelly remarks: "When I draw I don't find my solution in doing it, like de Kooning or Pollock. They find painting when they do it - that's expressionism." Kelly continues noting that Braque related his first brushstroke to the second, the second to the third. This relating one mark to the next is a type of "layering" notes Kelly, "and I think I do that in drawing."
