The former senior curator of the Zimmerli Museum Art Museum of Rutger Jeffrey Wechsler said while discussing this work. "The majority of works in the current exhibition demonstrate how Zutrau’s work of the 1960s chronologically straddled and often visually intermingled the methodologies noted above. For example, in Kamakura 4/19/63 (fig. 3), the painting consists of just two large rectangular color areas, green and blue. However, the intensity of the hues are rather different, with the green being quite bright, approaching an acid tone, and the blue more subdued. Although this simple image may parallel to some degree certain compositions of Ellsworth Kelly, there are two essential differences. Zutrau’s paint surface is not flat, but is varied with visible brushstrokes. Very importantly, the two main color shapes do not have straight edges nor do they consistently reach to the border of the paintings. Instead, the areas allow empty space to meander around them, with irregular yet carefully controlled wavering perimeters." (LG Zutrau catalogue)
