Elevate Your Correspondence with Barnett Newman’s 'Be II'
Experience the profound simplicity of Barnett Newman’s 'Be II' with this exclusive pack of 10 museum-quality post cards. Originally conceived between 1961 and 1964, 'Be II' is a cornerstone of Color Field painting and Abstract Expressionism. This piece features Newman's signature 'zip'—a vertical band that creates a sense of scale and human presence within the expansive field of color. At RedKalion, we honor Newman’s legacy by reproducing this masterpiece with absolute fidelity, ensuring each card serves as a miniature gallery-grade print.
Unrivaled Print Technology and Material Excellence
Unlike standard commercial stationery, our post cards are produced using 12-color fine art printing technology. This advanced process captures the precise tonal variations and depth of Newman's palette, far exceeding the limitations of traditional 4-color printing. Each card is printed on 200 gsm (80 lb) FSC-certified paper with a thickness of 0.26 mm, providing a substantial, premium feel. The smooth matte finish ensures a glare-free viewing experience, allowing the intellectual rigor of the artwork to shine.
A Sustainable Choice for the Discerning Collector
