Reseña del editor
An enlightening study of Barnett Newman's last works, based on a decade of exhaustive research The work of Barnett Newman (1905-1970) has come to define the spiritual aspirations and material innovations of American painting in the mid-20th century. Best known for his zip paintings-in which thin vertical lines rise through large, bold planes of color-Newman's work was an abrupt departure from his contemporaries' gestural abstraction, yet anticipated Color Field painting. During the last five years of his life, Newman worked primarily in acrylic rather than oil paint, used increasingly vibrant colors, and experimented with shaped canvases. When he died at the age of 65, he left a group of works hanging in his studio, some deemed unfinished. Centered on three of these works, this book builds upon ten years of exhaustive technical research to provide a rare glimpse of Newman's relatively mysterious artistic process. The first scholarly publication devoted to the last years of Newman's oeuvre, it features more than 20 paintings from this period and earlier. The authors present eye-opening analysis of these unfinished works as well as rich insight into Newman's full body of work. This striking volume also includes photographic close-ups and scientific imaging that reveal previously unknown aspects of Newman's mediums and techniques.

Hardcover. Zustand: UNSPECIFIED. First edition. Large Quarto. 139 (5)pp. Original off-white cloth with b/w horizontal square design and black lettering on cover, black lettering on spine. Title page printed in red and gray across two pages. "Newman's desire for his work to have a palpable and emotive presence is aligned with the philosophy espoused by the de Menils: that art is living and breathing and should not be relegated to a historical past or neutralized by too much didactic material. This spirit is particularly embodied in Newman's "Broken Obelisk," 1963/67, acquired by John and Dominique de Menil in 1969 and installed in front of the Rothko Chapel. Dedicated to the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the sculpture has come to stand for visionary thought, which for Newman was at the heart of all his endeavors." (Foreword). Profusely illustrated with color reproductions of Newman's art, and color and b/w photographs of Newman at work or in social environments. Binding with very light smudging. Artikel-Nr. 52763
