| | Barnett Newman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Newman is generally classified as an abstract expressionist on account of his working in New York City in the 1950s, associating with other artists of the group and developing an abstract style which owed little or nothing to European art. | | | Newman was unappreciated as an artist for much of his life, being overlooked in favour of more colorful characters such as Jackson Pollock. | | | Newman also made a few sculptures which are essentially three-dimensional zips. |

| | Tate Modern Past Exhibitions Barnett Newman |
| | The intervening years have seen Newman variously described as an exemplar of high modernism, a practitioner of the art of the sublime, a precursor of Minimalism, an existentialist, and a spiritual artist fascinated by Jewish mysticism. | | | So adamant was Newman about the way his art should be viewed that he once typed a statement and stuck it to the gallery wall instructing people to stand at only a 'short distance' from his canvases. | | | Born in 1905 in New York, the son of Polish-Jewish immigrants, Newman grew up in the Bronx, and in his early career was known as a critic rather than a painter. |

| | CESNUR 2001 - Barnett Newman (Bauer) |
| | These deeper existential dimensions inspiring Newman´s thought are perceptible, when he indicates for example that his art education came from himself in front of the real thing [52] or that the primitive artist was always face-to-face with the mystery of life [53]. | | | Newman´s use of language to direct the interpretive understanding of the retinal abstraction is well exemplified by his explanations of the 14 abstract paintings he titled The Stations of the Cross, Lema Sabachtani. | | | Against this background, it is not surprising that according to Newman what counts in his paintings is the stripe [26] since it is the artistic expression of his foremost metaphysical problem. |

| | Barnett Newman - AMAM |
| | Throughout his career, Newman referred to his 1948 painting Onement1 as a moment of origin: "I recall my first painting--that is, where I felt that I had moved into an area for myself that was completely me--and I painted it on my birthday (January 29) in 1948. | | | At this time Newman was particularly close to Mark Rothko and Adolph Gottlieb, exhibiting with them and other Abstract Expressionist painters at the Betty Parsons Gallery (see Main Text).Newman began his mature work in 1948 with Onement I. | | | By the end of 1949, Newman had produced a number of paintings comprised of one or several zips extending from the top to bottom of the canvas, or, occasionally, from side to side. |

| | Newman was fond of his admirers among the Minimalist generation, particularly Frank Stella, Donald Judd, and Dan Flavin--he even gave a speech at the opening of Flavin's famous 1969 exhibition in Ottawa. | | | That Dore Ashton thought Newman was a geometric painter and compared him to Victor Vasarely was to be expected--after all, she was straightforward in her antipathy to his work. | | | Throughout his life, Newman destroyed much of what he made: A work had to wholly satisfy him or it was banished, especially after he had completed what he often called his "first" painting, Onement I, 1948. |

| | artnet.com Magazine Features - Time and Barnett Newman |
| | Barnett Newman was a querulous fellow, quick to defend himself over minor matters in the art mags of his day (such as his use of "sublimis," not "sublimus"; his influence on Clyfford Still, not vice versa; his dislike of Motherwell’s work; his condemnation of Mondrian’s utopianism, etc.). | | | It’s poignant to see photos of a last painting, to be continued, in his White Street studio at the time of his death in 1970. | | | Newman, the anti-esthetician, would be appalled and pleased at the burnished beauty of Vir Heroicus Sublimis, beckoning us at one gallery entrance, happily separated from its normal Ab-Ex partners in MoMA’s permanent collection. |

| | Barnett Newman never had much to say as an artist, and it is only because of the circumstances of this age, the age of the gimmick and the mediocrity, that the publicity machine could crank the tottering Newman edifice into any semblance of erectness. | | | Nothing more reveals Barnett Newman's artistic emptiness than to sit in the Museum of Modern Art sculpture garden and view his metal stripe "sculptures" through the screen of white-barked trees that line the exhibition area. | | | Piet Mondrian (Newman's ancestor) had a genuinely lyrical, mystical response to nature which can be seen in his early works at the Guggenheim Museum through December 12th, and one can persuade oneself that this passion underlies his later structural concerns with lines and rectangles. |

| | Barnett Newman - Biography |
| | Although Newman's first solo exhibitions in the early 1950s met with ridicule, by the end of that decade his work was well-accepted and influential. | | | One of the great figures of the abstract expressionist movement, Barnett Newman was an intellectual, developing his ideas in his painting, sculpture, and writing. | | | When he started to paint again in the mid-1940s, Newman sought a new style of mystical abstraction, and it was at this time that he made his first works using his signature vertical elements, or "zips," to punctuate the single-hued fields of his canvases. |

| | The mind and art of Barnett Newman |
| | The art of Barnett Newman has never quite fit--into the mainstream of modern art; into the prevailing look and feel of the work of his own generation; or into the trailblazing role assigned to him by the succeeding generation of artists and critics. | | | In that light, Newman's extremely reductive style is exposed as nothing less than a subversion of the modernist norm of formalism, in an attempt to elevate art to the spiritual and philosophical questions to which he believed it was best dedicated and best suited to expressing. | | | In the many writings in which he developed his ideas prior to his breakthrough to a mature style in 1948, Newman argued for an art in which the plastic elements were no more than finely crafted tools to be taken for granted except as they proved useful in the service of higher goals. |

| | Newman was a generous, friendly guy, and so he did little to stem the art world perception that his work was the precedent for both Hard Edge and Post-Painterly Abstraction and nothing but. | | | Cubism, and the easel painting is where the drama is. Newman really believed that being an artist was the most important thing that anyone could be. | | | I don't think we have to worry very much if Newman was as inspired by the Kabbalah as Thomas Hess posits in his 1971 catalogue essay. |

| | barnett newman zips |
| | As he says of Newman, "the truth of art lies for him, as for any genuinely ambitious artist, somewhat beyond what he knows he can do."15 This truth is motivated by what Greenberg names "conception," something that he clearly sees as integral to Newman's work. | | | In the rare cases when he describes the zips, he does so briefly and by asserting that Newman's art is not really geometrical and that there are other, less noticeable factors that are more important to an interpretation of his work.17 Greenberg's omissions are apparently convenient, if silent and absent, supporters of his arguments. | | | In a particularly revealing passage, Greenberg writes "the question now asked through their art is no longer what constitutes art, or the art of painting, as such, but what irreducibly constitutes good art as such. |

| | This is one of the loosest of Newman's mature paintings; one clearly sees his brushstrokes, and you can tell that he covered the surface in three horizontal sections that roughly divide the painting in three bands- top, middle, and bottom. | | | This is collage, and only the second painting, I believe, in Newman's oeurve where the zip is made with tape, the first being his breakthrough painting of the same year, Onement. | | | The brush is dragged, the paint is spread, and evidence of Newman's movement is visually evident and physically felt. |
