message: This page suffers from what seems to me vacuous nonsense, perhaps someone disagrees? These sentences at least should be rewritten into plain, sane English, or deleted. Although maybe writing/thinking in that style is necessary to an enthusiasm for Newman's art. Is it not possible to rewrite in understandable, concrete, feasible prose? Or is it "all bathwater"?
"His paintings are existential in tone and content, explicitly composed with the intention of communicating a sense of locality, presence, and contingency."
"Existential in tone and content?" What on earth does that mean? Well, there's not much content there is there, and like a pile of bricks, sure, when a person looks at it, he will have thoughts related to being a person, if there's nothing specific coming from the art. "Explicitly composed".. uh opposed to what? Throwing paint on a canvas randomly? "A sense of.."etc oh please. I say this is shameful nonsense. Sure, the art world is full of such empty pseudo-intellectual hogwash nowadays, meant to intimidate, not communicate. But that makes it more shameful, not less nonsensical.
"The zips define the spatial structure of the painting, while simultaneously dividing and uniting the composition." What? All there is to the pictures are "zips"! Sheer mountebankery. Yesenadam (talk) 05:13, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
