About
Why this artist matters now
Barnett Newman was an American painter and theorist who developed a distinctive approach to abstraction using large fields of color interrupted by vertical lines he called 'zips'. Working primarily from the 1950s onward, his monumental canvases engaged with concepts of the sublime and American transcendentalism.
