Barnet Newman made these paintings in 1960 and I still find them interesting and beautiful.
The simple and elegant use of tape to establish edges and the emphasis on the edge/vector in a time when painting was moving from the abstract expressionist emotionally-charged brush stroke and about to enter the ironic flatness of pop art is still fresh to my eye.
Try a piece using tape as the medium.
See you next week,john.
