Context: Brice Marden's . . . paintings demonstrate that abstract art, particularly what has been termed minimalism, need not be coldly clinical nor removed from sensory pleasure. From the beginning of his career in the mid-1960s into the early 1980s, Marden used oil and wax as his painting medium, applying this mixture to simple vertical rectangles of canvas. Upon sustained scrutiny, these paintings resonate with an interior light and call to mind things far outside the realm of purely abstract form. In the four-panel "To Corfu," Marden summons colors associated with the land and sea of a Greek island in the Aegean Sea, Here tones of blue and green refer to water and sky in a distilled and quiet yet supremely deliberate manner.Rather than draw topography according to the traditional landscape genre, Marden recreates the experience of being in a landscape by setting similar yet distinct planes of color next to each other. As these colors interact, ocean, sky and field begin to register in the viewer's eye and mind without ever appearing outright."Dallas Museum of Art: A Guide to the Collection," page 286
