	Barnett Newman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Newman was born in New York City, the son of Russian Jewish immigrants.
		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.

		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.
		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.

	CESNUR 2001 - Barnett Newman (Bauer)
		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.
		Thus, it is not surprising, that Newman regards the synagogue as a place, Makom [47] and that in connection with the synagogal ritual he stresses the subjective experience in which one feels exalted by realizing the meaning of the Mitzwa: Know before whom you stand.
		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].

	Barnett Newman's 'Broken Obelisk.' (sculpture) - Art Journal - HighBeam Research (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Newman has been able to realize the sublime, a constant concern of his work, in sculpture without such traditional symbols of death as skulls and skeletons, and with very few indirect references to nature, an allusion basic to his painting.
		Newman's sculpture thus represents the triumph, in his words, of new and sublime "life," but not a permanent one, for triumphs are recognized as short-lived in Abstract Expressionism.
		Newman stripped his art of the particulars of time and place, of the official rhetoric of specific, political causes, to strive for the archetypal elements of protest important to his time of historical extremity.

		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.
		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.

		Barnett Newman was forty years old when, in 1945, he made the first of his surviving paintings.
		Born in 1905 on the Lower East Side, Newman was the son of Jewish immigrants from Russian Poland.
		That seems right with regard to Newman, who is imperishably radical for having focussed all his energies on the cultivation of fleeting, exquisite transports on a grand scale.

		Newman had it that: 'Aesthetics is for artists as ornithology is for the birds.' Put aesthetics aside, for the time being.
		Newman's titles in these instances are less names than dedications with which the artist claims as collaborators men who were/are, like him, half in, half out, of history.
		Every Newman refers us to every other Newman; as all Newmans are alike the entire oeuvre has a hereness and nowness to it.

		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.
		And several of Newman's largest paintings will probably steal the show (the sheer fact of their presence being just short of a miracle--does one realize what it takes to bring from Japan a twenty-foot-wide canvas that cannot be rolled?).
		Analyzing the precise means through which Newman conveys this present tense in each of his canvases--he does so differently each time--would require a whole treatise, so I'll go at the issue of meaning in his work by returning to the matchmaking strategy I have focused on to this point.

		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 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.

		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 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.).
		Yet Newman was clearly misunderstood by both detractors and admirers like Tom Hess, who bound him in the amorphous Ab-Ex matrix of Rothko, Still and Gorky.

	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 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.
		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.

	Barnett Newman - Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		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.
		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.

	barnett newman zips
		The vocabulary that Greenberg uses in his discussions of Rothko, Still and Newman begins to seem quite opaque at times; it is often as confusing as his apparent ignorance of the conspicuous zips on Newman's canvases.
		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.

		The idea for Broken Obelisk (an obelisk is a tall, four-sided structure that comes to a pyramidlike point) came to Newman in 1963, but he was unable to create the work until he was introduced to a steel manufacturer in 1967.
		The Egyptian obelisk is associated with the sun’s rays and the return of life, or the sun god, Ra, at sunrise.
		Newman was very interested in the Egyptians, and he had even grown up seeing an ancient obelisk in New York City’s Central Park (installed in 1881, it is still there today).

		Newman aspired to breadth and nobility in his works, infusing them with deep meaning and producing a powerful physical presence through his mastery of expansive spatial effects and evocative color.
		Two groundbreaking essays by prominent scholars survey Newman's career from his founding role in the New York School in the 1940s to his key influence on both Minimalism and conceptual art in the 1960s.
		Discussed at length are such Newman masterpieces as Onement I (1948), the series Stations of the Cross (1958-66), and the monumental sculpture Broken Obelisk (1967).

		The disquieting and thus the mostimportant aspect of Barnett Newman's major paintings is that they are embarrassing.
		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.
		As far as I know he was not particularly religious---though the synagogue he designed in 1963 should someday be built, with its zigzag windows and what appears to be a conjunction of the Torah and, yes, baseball.

		The two vertical lines that interrupt this orange expanse--almost appearing to float over it rather than divide it--he called "zips." Newman's pared-down compositions and his use of bold, flat color greatly influenced the Minimalist artists of the 1960s and 1970s.

		But Hollywood has no "Newman" in the pipeline to make sense of Barnett Newman (1905-1970), Pollock's friend and contemporary, whose second posthumous retrospective has just opened at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, its sole American venue.
		On the exhibition scene at the moment, only "Eva Hesse" at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art rivals "Barnett Newman" as an inroad to understanding the art of the past half century and perhaps of the one just begun.
		Newman titled many of his paintings only after official recognition gave him some traction in the late '50s.
