Barnett Newman used a similar style for all his main oil paintings which bears a resemblance to many artists of this time who passionately followed the abstract modern art beliefs that were common throughout the 20th century.
Barnett Newman felt a great emotion and strength in his paintings that others could not see easily, leading him to instruct at times on how best to enjoy his works in galleries that displayed them. The initial appearance to most was of emptiness and over simplified looks whilst Newman felt so much more in each that he produced.
Whilst lagging behind them during his career for the most part, Barnett Newman is now seen alongside the best Abstract Expressionists such as Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Adolph Gottlieb and Clyfford Still in 20th century art history.
