The Sublime Geometry of Barnett Newman’s Canto II
Experience the profound resonance of mid-century abstraction with a museum-quality reproduction of Barnett Newman’s Canto II. Originally part of his 1963-64 lithographic portfolio, the '18 Cantos', this piece exemplifies Newman’s mastery of Color Field painting. The composition centers on the 'zip'—a vertical band of color that defines the spatial structure of the work, creating a sense of total immersion and metaphysical depth.
RedKalion brings this Barnett Newman wall art to life using premium 4mm (0.15") acrylic. This choice of material does more than protect the image; it enhances the vibrancy of the pigments and provides a sleek, glass-like depth that complements the modern aesthetic of Newman’s work. Our archival-grade reproduction ensures that the subtle nuances of the original lithograph are preserved for generations.
Technical Sophistication Meets Archival Excellence
Designed for the discerning collector, this fine art print features clean, straight-cut corners that emphasize its architectural presence. To ensure a seamless installation, each print includes a specialized hanging kit with screws and pre-drilled holes at each corner. Whether displayed in a minimalist gallery or a refined home office, this piece serves as a sophisticated focal point that honors the legacy of Abstract Expressionism.

What is the significance of the 'zip' in Barnett Newman’s Canto II?
The 'zip' is Newman's signature vertical line that defines the composition's space. In Canto II, it serves to humanize the scale of the void, creating a tension between the viewer and the infinite field of color.
How does the acrylic material enhance the appearance of this abstract print?
The 4mm acrylic provides a high-gloss finish that adds perceived depth and color saturation. This museum-quality material ensures the Barnett Newman print remains vibrant while offering a modern, sleek aesthetic without the need for traditional framing.
What mounting hardware is included with the Canto II acrylic print?
Every order includes a professional hanging kit featuring screws and pre-drilled holes. The holes are positioned 14mm (0.55") from each edge, specifically designed to support the weight and integrity of the 70x100 cm acrylic panel.
Does the print come with a white or transparent background?
While the acrylic itself is clear, we utilize a white backing for transparent areas to ensure the colors of Newman’s Canto II are presented with maximum impact and correct color fidelity against any wall surface.
How should I maintain the archival longevity of my Barnett Newman wall art?
Acrylic is highly durable and moisture-resistant. To maintain its archival quality, avoid abrasive cleaners; instead, use a soft, damp microfiber cloth to gently remove dust, preserving the pristine finish of your RedKalion masterpiece.
What are the specific technical dimensions for the installation holes?
The pre-drilled holes have an 8mm (0.31") diameter and are set 14mm from the corner edges. The included screw heads measure 15mm (0.6"), ensuring a secure and visually balanced mount for this 28x40″ artwork.
How does Canto II fit into the Abstract Expressionist movement?
Canto II represents the 'Color Field' branch of Abstract Expressionism. Unlike the gestural 'action painting' of Pollock, Newman focused on the emotional and spiritual power of pure color and large-scale geometric precision.
