The artwork titled “Galaxy” was created by Barnett Newman in 1949. This piece is part of the Color Field Painting movement and is categorized under the abstract genre.
The artwork features a minimalist composition. Dominated by deep hues of red, the painting is vertically bisected by two narrow, darker stripes. These vertical bands create a sense of structure and balance within the expansive red field. The simplicity of the forms and the focus on color exemplify the characteristics of the Color Field Painting movement, emphasizing the emotional resonance of pure color and the meditative quality of the composition.
