Who’s Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue
…….is a series of four large-scale paintings by Barnett Newman painted between 1966 and 1970.He started the first painting in the series without a preconceived notion of the subject or end result; he only wanted it to be different from what he had done until then. But after having painted the canvas red, he was confronted with the fact that only the other primary colours yellow and blue would work with it, like the works of De Stijl and especially Piet Mondriaan, who’s geometric shapes and specific colour use are currently having great impact on fashion and interior design.
