In a rectangular pool, a sculpture made of brown weathered CorTen steel consists of a pyramid, topped by a broken, inverted obelisk: two ancient forms called up in service to modern art. To the right of the pool stands a young child with her back to the viewer.

Barnett Newman's Stations of the Cross: National Gallery of Art, Washington DC.

#Nikon #Photography #Art #AbstractExpressionism #BarnettNewman #NationalGalleryOfArt
A stupidly rare photo of me standing next to some of the panels of the amazing works of Abstract Expressionism from the mid century Barnett Newman’s greatest achievement—The Stations of the Cross. Newman began the cycle of 15 canvases in 1958 while recovering from a heart attack. The abstract expressionist painter continued the series over the next eight years, finally adding a coda, Be II. Newman’s title for the series was met with confusion when it was first exhibited in 1966. The artist explained that the paintings were not a story but rather “a complete statement of a single subject,” namely Jesus’s cry from the cross, lema sabachthani (Why have you forsaken me?). Newman did not intend for the series to represent the narrative but rather be an expression “of each man's agony.” The Stations of the Cross is a series of fifteen abstract expressionist paintings created between 1958 and 1966 by Barnett Newman, often considered to be his greatest work.[1] It consists of fourteen paintings, each named after one of Jesus's fourteen Stations, followed by a coda, Be II. Unlike most depictions of the Stations of the Cross, Newman did not intend for this to be a narrative journey of Jesus's suffering. Rather, it was intended to evoke the central question of the Passion, lema sabachthani (why have you forsaken me?).[2] The secular, Jewish Newman used this central theme of Christian theology to probe the human condition rather than towards its historical purpose of devotion or worship.[3] The series has been seen as a memorial to the victims of the Holocaust.[4] The painting series was unveiled at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in 1966, in an exhibition titled The Stations of the Cross: Lema Sabachthani.[5][6][7] The National Gallery of Art bought the paintings in 1987 from Newman's widow for an estimated $5 to $7 million, through a donation from Robert and Jane Meyerhoff.[8][9] They were put on permanent display.[10]

One of my earliest images, from just after art school. Many of my teachers were from the 1950/60's abstract expressionist colorfield painting heyday... so I always referred to this shot as "Barnett Newman".

#BlueSkyArtShow #BarnettNewman #bricks
An old dirty alleyway brick wall painted bright red with a white battered rain gutter pipe running down the right edge of a boarded window. A narrow strip of black asphalt at the bottom with a splotch of red paint just off center, towards the left. There is a less than half the width of a door cropped off at the right edge, also red but with dark gray paper hiding the window.
