바넷 뉴먼 (1905 – 1970)
Barnett Newman(1905-1970)은 추상 표현주의의 거장으로, '집'(zip)이라 불리는 수직선과 강렬한 색면을 통해 깊은 영적 경험을 탐구했습니다. 대표작으로는 'Onement VI', 'Vir Heroicus Sublimis'가 있습니다.
Newman made several sculptures, but Broken Obelisk is his most monumental. Its use of heavy, rough-surfaced steel contrasts with the impression of lightness created by the inverted obelisk that almost floats above the stable pyramid. The two parts connect at a space of only two and a quarter inches, with an internal steel rod stabilizing the massive sculpture. Although ancient imagery of pyramids and obelisks are often associated with death, Newman reinvents them here to evoke life and transcendence. Several versions of Broken Obelisk exist, with one in Houston, Texas dedicated to the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
