Dimensões

Barnett Newman (1905 – 1970)

Barnett Newman foi um pintor americano pioneiro do Expressionismo Abstrato, conhecido por suas obras monumentais como "Vir Heroicus Sublimis" e "Onement VI", que exploram temas espirituais profundos e uma estética minimalista inovadora. Sua influência persiste na arte contemporânea.

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.
