Barnett Newman: Selected Writings and Interviews Details
Review "Barnett Newman regarded himself, with reason, as an embattled artist, someone who had to speak out and speak plainly if he was to be given his due. . . . None too soon, the evidence for all this has been assembled and decked out with the facts that many a younger reader will need." -- John Russell, New York Times Book Review"Should be read not only by fans of Newman's art, but by anyone who is interested in the cultural affairs of this century." -- Yve-Alain Bois, Art in America Read more About the Author John P.

i didnt know anything about barnet newman before i got this book, now he is one of my favorite artist. this isnt a picture book, in fact there are almost no pictures of actual art works. this book is a collection of barnet newmans life long obsession with writting. he wrote letters and essays to everybody and about everything. from newspaper editors to gallery owners barnet newman wasnt afaraid to let people know what he thought, and he does it in a very informative and entertaining way. he was a very good writer. so mu suggestion is, if you want to learn about barnet newman the man, the writer, the artist, then get this book.
