Onement I
Storlek på reproduktion
Barnett Newman’s “Onement I,” completed in 1948, stands as an emblem of Abstract Expressionism and arguably the cornerstone of color field painting—a movement that irrevocably altered the course of twentieth-century art. More than just pigment on canvas; it embodies a profound philosophical exploration into the nature of perception and spirituality, reflecting Newman’s deeply held convictions about humanity's relationship with the divine.
Newman began his artistic journey amidst the fervor of Surrealism, absorbing influences from artists like René Magritte and Max Ernst. However, he swiftly rejected these representational approaches, recognizing their inadequacy in conveying the emotional depth he sought. This decisive rejection propelled him toward minimalism—a radical simplification of form that prioritized pure color and texture above all else.
“Onement I” is executed on a canvas measuring 69 x 41 cm using oil paint on linen. The artist meticulously applied masking tape to create a horizontal band across the canvas, delineating two distinct zones of color—a rich maroon hue dominating the lower portion and a vibrant orange-red radiating from the upper section. This technique is crucial; it’s not merely about applying pigment but about establishing spatial relationships that transcend traditional perspective.
Newman's artistic choices resonate with biblical imagery, particularly referencing the Pillar of Fire descended from Heaven during Moses’ Exodus journey—a symbol of divine guidance and transcendence. The horizontal zip serves as a visual metaphor for this pillar, dividing the canvas into two realms while simultaneously uniting them through color. As curator Ann Temkin eloquently articulated in an interview accompanying MoMA's exhibition on Abstract Expressionist New York, “The zips are flashing light of a nuclear explosion and the old testament pillar of fire,” capturing the paradoxical blend of destruction and spiritual illumination inherent in Newman’s vision.
"Onement I" invites viewers into a contemplative state—a deliberate confrontation with pure color devoid of recognizable imagery. The artist aimed to bypass intellectual analysis, allowing emotion to dictate perception. This immersive experience is characteristic of color field painting, which seeks to evoke feelings of awe and wonder by immersing the viewer in an expanse of luminous hue. Newman’s enduring legacy lies not only in his groundbreaking technique but also in his profound conviction that art could serve as a conduit for spiritual contemplation—a timeless aspiration that continues to inspire artists and collectors alike.
