The Barnett Newman Foundation
In 1945, when he was more active as a critic and curator, artist Barnett Newman published this article comparing Tamayo and Adolph Gottlieb. Newman hailed both artists' efforts to unite the lessons of the School of Paris with "the great art traditions of our American aborigines." He believed Tamayo and Gottlieb had achieved this synthesis and were pointing the way toward "a truly American art" that could have an impact on the hemisphere and Europe. |
