Citadel (1962) by Gene Davis: A Masterpiece of the Washington Color School

Elevate your interior with Citadel (1962), a seminal work by the American painter Gene Davis. As a leading figure of the Washington Color School, Davis revolutionized abstract expressionism through his iconic 'stripe' paintings. This 70x100 cm (28x40 inches) museum-quality reproduction captures the rhythmic precision and vibrant optical energy that defined the 1960s Color Field movement.

Davis’s Citadel is more than a series of vertical lines; it is a complex exploration of color relationships and intervals. By carefully selecting varying widths and hues, Davis creates a sense of musical tempo, inviting the viewer's eye to 'read' the canvas from left to right. This fine art print allows you to experience the tension and harmony of his color arrangements with breathtaking clarity.

At RedKalion, we curate only the finest materials to honor the artist's legacy.
