Barnett Newman, Third Station, 1960, oil on canvas, Robert and Jane Meyerhoff Collection, 1986.65.3

Third Station

Barnett Newman · 1960 · oil on canvas ·  Accession ID  1986.65.3

At the center of this abstract composition, a black circle is layered over an area of pale aqua, curving like a rain puddle, against a background of forest green in this nearly square painting. The edge of the black circle is lined with periwinkle blue around the bottom left half. A few streaks of the blue seep or drip into the black circle. Above the center of the large black circle, a delicate white circle is drawn around a small white dot, and a swipe of scarlet red curves around the bottom half of the white circle. The aqua form is serrated at the top right and bulges with curves and spikes around the rest of the circle. One pointed, aqua-colored spike at the bottom left is painted over with swirls and scrolls in the scarlet red and periwinkle blue. More periwinkle blue squiggles and lines are drawn against the aqua field, especially around its perimeter. The area filling the space between the aqua puddle and the edge of the canvas is pine green to the top and left, and is streaked with teal green along the bottom and right edges. The artist signed and dated the work in the lower right corner: “Barnett Newman 1946.”

Two black bands span the height of this vertical canvas against a field of white mottled with shades of ivory, bone, and parchment in this abstract painting. A narrow, solid black stripe lines the left edge of the canvas, like the spine of a book. About a quarter of the way in from the right edge, black paint swirls and wafts like smoke on either side of a narrow white stripe the same color as the background. The artist signed and dated the painting in black paint in the lower right corner of the canvas: “Barnett Newman 1958.”

A vertical black band and thin black line span the height of this otherwise cream-white, vertically oriented abstract painting. The black band is along the left side of the canvas, and its inner edge feathers inward. The black line cuts up the canvas about three-quarters of the way across from the left. The artist signed and dated the painting in the lower left corner in black, "Barnett Newman 1962.”

Barnett Newman · 1965/1966 · acrylic and Duco on canvas ·  Accession ID  1986.65.14

A thin black line and a thicker black band span the height of this otherwise cream-white, vertical, abstract painting. The black line is near the left side of the canvas. The solid black band is across the canvas to take up about the rightmost fifth of the composition. Along the inner edge of the band is a thin white line and then a black line, both with jagged, slightly bleeding edges. The artist signed and dated the painting in the lower left corner in black, "Barnett Newman 1964.”
Barnett Newman, Seventh Station, 1964, oil on canvas, Robert and Jane Meyerhoff Collection, 1986.65.7

Seventh Station

Barnett Newman · 1964 · oil on canvas ·  Accession ID  1986.65.7

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.”

A white, almost square canvas is flanked along the left edge by a narrow line of pumpkin orange and to the right with black. The inner edge of the orange stripe is ragged, as if painted freehand. The inner edge of the black stripe is crisp. The artist signed and dated the painting in black in the lower right corner, “Barnett Newman ‘61+64.”
