The relevance of title to form and content in the mature work of Barnett NewmanMark, Lily January 2015 (has links)
Thesis (M.A.)--University of the Witwatersrand, Faculty of Arts, 1983 / Barnett Newman's mature work i.e. from 1948 - 1970 is characterised
by monumental paintings, flat planes of single colour and vertical
stripes as the only pictorial element. Despite this severe reduction
of form, the titles of these works suggest profound and esoteric
concepts. This dichotomy of simple form and complex meaning creates
a problem of understanding as there is no obvious correlation between
the two. A guide to interpretation is needed and is indicated even
more by the wide disparity between the interpretations by different
critics. In particular T.B. Hess, in his 1971 book on Newman,
introduces references to Kabbalistic themes that complicate the
issue further. Newman's widow and some critics reject Hess's premise
yet the image of Newman as a Kabbalist artist persists in writings as
recently as 1980.
This dissertation examines Hess's theories, rejects most of them and
attempts alternative interpretations. Newman was a prolific writer
and his stated philosophy may be studied as an index to the understanding of his work. This emerges as concerned with sublime,
spiritual and heroic content; and the absence of pictorial, nostalgic
references from nature is intended to evoke in the spectator a
corresponding spiritual and emotional response. Whether the artist's
aims were realized remains unanswered in this work because the title-
form relationship is still to some extent, obscure; but it is hoped
that lines of research into Newman's work other than those by Hess,
are strongly suggested.

Lema Sabachtani, realizada em 1966, por Barnett Newman, assim como sobre a natureza desta associação e como ela pode ser abordada pela História da Arte, teórica e metodologicamente. Esta pesquisa trata, portanto, da espessura do olhar entre aquele que vê a obra de arte e a própria obra porque trata dos espaço-tempi em que sua percepção se abre a uma rede de relações. Diante de uma obra nos desfiguramos e reconfiguramos enquanto sua imagem se modifica. Mas quando a obra concerne a uma transformação exemplar, esses conteúdos de desdobram e se redobram em inúmeras questões, como é o caso do tema da transformação mais recorrente em nossa cultura cristã e ocidental, no grande drama expresso pela Paixão. O interesse por essas obras, portanto, foi imposta pela expressa categoria de identificação autoimpingida do artista com o tema, com o pathos do processo de criação e com a temporalidade complexa que a constelação dessas obras acaba por sedimentar. Assim, a investigação levou à reflexão sobre o impacto do jogo entre o pathos e o anacronismo sobre o discurso na História da Arte como montagem de tempos heterogêneos, baseada em pressupostos oferecidos por Aby Warburg, Walter Benjamin e Georges Didi-Huberman. _______________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / The subject of this PhD research project is the association of Henri Matisse's Chemin de la Croix, Barnett Newman's Stations of the Cross. Lema Sabachtani Exhibition and Bené Fonteles' Sudários, as well as what the order of this association and how it can be brought up by Art History, theoretically and methodologically. Therefore, this research is about of the thickness of the outlook between the one who sees the artwork and the artwork itself, because it talks about the space-times in that perception that opens itself into a web of relations. In front of an artwork we desfigure and reconfigure ourselves as the image modifies. But when the artwork approaches to a model transformation, these contents unfold and refold themselves in numerous questions. That is the case of the more recurrent transformations in our Western Christian culture, in the great drama expressed by the Passion. The interest by these artworks, therefore, was imposed by the artist’s self-inflicted identification category with the subject, with the pathos of the creation process and with the complexity of the temporality that the constellation of these works deposits. Thus, the inquiry induced to the speculation about the impact of the relation between the pathos and the anachronism about the discourse in the Art History as montage of heterogeneous times, based in presuppositions offered by Aby Warburg, Walter Benjamin and Georges Didi-Huberman.
