Experience the Rhythmic Precision of Gene Davis’s 'Citadel' (1962)
Invite the sophisticated legacy of the Washington Color School into your collection with this exquisite pack of 10 postcards featuring Gene Davis’s 1962 masterpiece, 'Citadel'.

'Citadel' represents a pinnacle of this exploration, where each vertical band acts as a note in a complex visual symphony, creating a sense of depth and vibration that transcends the flat surface.
