Original artwork description
The woman on my painting is enjoying a painting by Barnett Newman. At first sight it may appear that Newman concentrated on shape and color, but he insisted that his canvases were charged with symbolic meaning. He believed in the spiritual content of abstract art. The very title of this painting—in English, 'Man, heroic and sublime'—points to aspirations of transcendence. Perhaps my figure is experiencing just that.
