  • This painting consists of a large, vertical black line on the left edge and three vertical black lines to the right, all against a plain cream background. The line on the left is the thickest and also has the cleanest edge. The next line, which is to the right of center, is still straight, but the color is slightly patchy. The next two lines on the right are the thinnest and are placed very close together. These lines are very messy, with streaks of black paint surrounding them.

  • Three thin, black bands span the height of this otherwise cream-white, vertical, abstract painting. One solid black band is along the left side of the canvas, and it is lined with parchment brown along its crisp right edge. The other two black bands are near each other about three-quarters of the way across the composition. Together these two are about the same width as the first black band. The outermost edges of pair of black bands are filmy, and a sliver of white separates the two up the middle. Black paint is spattered in the lower left quadrant of the painting, and the artist signed and dated the lower right corner, “Barnett Newman 1960.”
