What is the significance of the '18 Cantos' series?
Created between 1963 and 1964, the 18 Cantos marked Newman's first major foray into lithography. The series explores the relationship between the margins of the paper and the central 'zip,' reflecting a spiritual, musical rhythm.
Why did Barnett Newman use vertical lines called 'zips'?
Newman's 'zips' were intended to define the spatial structure of the painting while simultaneously unifying the composition. They represent a human presence within the infinite void, creating a sense of scale and profound emotional resonance.
