About To Corfu

The artwork, titled “To Corfu” by Brice Marden, was created in 1976 and belongs to the Hard Edge Painting and Minimalism art movements. Classified as abstract in genre, “To Corfu” exemplifies the distinct geometric simplicity and minimalistic aesthetic characteristic of these movements.

In the artwork, one observes a composition dominated by vertical bands of color. The painting presents a structured arrangement of five primary vertical stripes in varying shades of blue and green. The central stripe is a deep, rich navy blue, flanked on either side by a light, muted green. These in turn are bordered by broader strips of medium and lighter blue hues. The color transitions are clean and precise, emphasizing the hard edge technique, which avoids any gradation or blending between the colors. This methodical distribution of color and form creates a visually balanced and harmonious composition, representing the minimalist idea of exploring simplicity and essence.
