Description
Artist: Edgar Corbridge (American, 1901-1988). Title: Cape Cod Landscape. Oil on board. Signed lower right. Title verso. Dimensions: 19" x 26". Framed: 23" x 30". Rooted in the tradition of American Regionalism, Edgar Corbridge turned to Cape Cod and New England for inspiration, capturing the quiet character of New England. This rare oil on board—distinct from his more typical watercolor work—depicts a solitary rural road leading toward Provincetown, evoking the stillness and atmosphere of the 1940s and 1950s.Largely self-taught, Corbridge believed his lack of formal training strengthened his vision, aiming to create work that resonated beyond traditional gallery audiences. An active member of the Provincetown Art Association, he exhibited widely in Boston, New York, Providence, and Washington, D.C. His precise, linear style recalls Charles Sheeler, balancing geometric structure with a quiet, poetic sensibility. Favoring industrial and architectural forms, Corbridge created compositions defined by clarity, restraint, and a commitment to realism at a time when abstraction dominated.
