Barnett Newman (1905 � 1970) was an American artist. He is seen as one of the major figures in abstract expressionism and one of the foremost of the colour field painters. For full biographical notes on Newman see part 1.

This part 2 of a 3-part post on the works of Barnett Newman:

Stations of the Cross
The Stations of the Cross series of black and white paintings (1958�66), begun shortly after Newman had recovered from a heart attack, is usually regarded as the peak of his achievement. The series is subtitled "Lema sabachthani" - "why have you forsaken me" - the last words spoken by Jesus on the cross, according to the New Testament. Newman saw these words as having universal significance in his own time. The series has also been seen as a memorial to the victims of the holocaust.

Broken Obelisk is the largest and best known of his six sculptures. As both form and symbol, the pyramid (a place of ascent of the human spirit) and the obelisk (monument to life and renewal, broken relic of antiquity) fascinated Newman.
