Barnett Newman’s Be I (1970) and his wider body of work embody a quest for the "sublime"—a profound, spiritual, and existential experience rather than mere aesthetic decoration.

Using his signature "zips" (vertical lines) on massive canvases, he aimed to make the viewer feel present in the immediate "here and now," transporting them beyond everyday reality

Be is an original, 100% handmade painting and comes with a hand signed Certificate of Authenticity. The painting is signed on the front and back.

Shipping takes about two weeks no matter where you live in the world. You'll receive your painting safely packaged and ready to install immediately.

kind regards, Gerard Boersma
