The artwork, “Stations of the Cross,” was created by Barnett Newman between the years 1958 and 1966. This abstract piece belongs to the Color Field Painting movement. The artwork features a series of large canvases displayed in a spacious room, with each canvas containing bold, vertical stripes or bands of color. The composition and arrangement of the canvases invite the viewer to experience the work in a contemplative manner, emphasizing the emotional and spiritual resonance of the piece. The stark, minimal use of color and form is characteristic of Newman’s approach, intending to evoke profound existential introspection through simplicity and scale.
