Reviews
Examining the work and career development of artist Barnett Newman, art critic Rosenberg begins with a detailed account of some of the artist's more important paintings. He then moves on to Newman's watercolors, lithographs, etchings, sculpture, and architecture, fully illustrating each section with clear, sharp photographs. The chronology of Newman's life is particularly helpful, as are the list of illustrations, appendix, and fully researched bibliography. Newman was one of the most influential American painters of the modern era. Now, within this text, his career has been carefully researched, thoroughly documented, and closely examined in a lively style. Recommended for serious art collections.

Hardcover. Beige cloth boards with blue and white DJ, 260 pp, 270 illustrations including 131 in color and 5 fold outs. This abundantly illustrated volume, by the late Harold Rosenberg, dean of American art critics, brings together for the first time reproductions in color of almost every one of Newman's paintings, as well as most of the drawings, watercolors, works in mixed media, sculpture, etchings, lithographs, and architecture. Rosenberg's interpretive essay amphasizes the spirituality and metaphysical quality of Newman's art, and it shows how Newman's personae as a citizen, polemicist, man of impeccable taste, and metaphysician molded his artistic personality and led to the extraordinary series The Stations of the Cross and to the superb final paintings. More than most other American artists Newman influenced the course of art in the 1960s and 1970s. His enduring achievement--perhaps the greatest monument to artistic integrity ever created in the United States--is presented chronologically in this volume, medium by medium. Newman's statement of his life and art is fully assembled here, and his radiant paintings and colors shine forth from almost every page in a blaze of transcendent light. VG/VG-. Jacket has some general wear and light toning along spine. Seller Inventory # 210058
