In the Tower: Barnett Newman October 17, 2012

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.
