About Eve

The artwork titled “Eve,” created by the artist Barnett Newman in 1950 in the United States, belongs to the Color Field Painting movement and falls under the abstract genre. This piece is currently housed in Tate Britain, located in London, UK.

The artwork consists of a substantial vertical expanse dominated by a vibrant, uninterrupted field of red. On the right edge, there is a narrow vertical band of dark color, likely black, which runs parallel to the height of the canvas. The simplicity and the stark contrast between the large red field and the thin dark stripe are characteristic of the Color Field Painting movement, focusing on large areas of a single color to evoke emotion and contemplation.
