Washington D.C., January 1964 Number 4 1964

Edward Corbett's "Washington D.C., January 1964 Number 4" (1964) is a minimalist abstract painting, composed of horizontal bands of deep blue, black, and gray. It evokes the feeling of a distant landscape or cityscape, with the upper band representing the sky and the lower bands suggesting land or buildings. The subdued tones and simple forms are characteristic of Corbett's later work, which explored themes of abstraction and the city.
