“Voice of Fire,” created by Barnett Newman in 1967, epitomizes the Color Field Painting movement. This abstract artwork, measuring 240 by 540 centimeters, is housed in the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa.
The artwork features a minimalist and striking composition, dominated by a central vertical red stripe flanked by two vertical blue stripes of equal width. The simplicity and boldness of the color placement evoke a sense of depth and intensity. The vividly contrasting colors render a powerful visual impact, aligning with Newman’s characteristic exploration of color and spatial tension within the abstract genre.
