Wide and narrow strips of cream white and charcoal gray span the height of this vertical, abstract painting. The left three-quarters of the composition is dark gray except for a narrow white line near the left edge. The gray field ends to the right with a precise, vertical edge. A narrow white line follows, and then a thin blade of gray is brushed shallowly into the white, rightmost quarter of the composition. The artist signed the painting in the lower right corner, “Barnett Newman 1965.”
