Washington D.C. #1 1971

"Washington D.C. #1," a minimalist painting by Edward Corbett, exemplifies his signature style. Completed in 1971, shortly before the artist's death, the work features two thin vertical lines against a white background, one in a muted purple, the other in a vibrant green. The stark contrast of color and simple composition create a sense of balance and quiet contemplation. This minimalist aesthetic reflects the art movement of the 1960s and 1970s, characterized by its reduction of form and emphasis on pure visual elements.
