This exhibition is no longer on view at the National Gallery.
Overview: Drawing mainly from the Gallery's rich holdings of Newman's (1905–1970) work, this exhibition presents two crucial periods in the artist's career. Newman's paintings and drawings of the 1940s reveal a shift from biomorphic imagery to simple linear forms, while The Stations of the Cross, a cycle of 14 paintings plus a coda (Be II), dominated Newman's mature career from 1958 to 1966.
Organization: Organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
Sponsor: The exhibition is made possible by The Exhibition Circle and The Tower Project of the National Gallery of Art.
Passes: Passes are not required for this exhibition.
