Newman, Barnett (1905–1970)

US painter, sculptor, and theorist. His paintings are solid-coloured canvases with a few sparse vertical stripes. They represent a mystical pursuit of simple or elemental art. His sculptures, such as Broken Obelisk (1963–67), consist of geometric shapes, each mounted on top of the other.

Born in New York City, he was involved in the development of colorfield painting.
