If you are destined to succeed, it doesn't matter if you are late at all.

? When it comes to abstract painting, which artist do you think of first?

? After World War II, abstract painting has become the most popular and distinctive artistic style in the 20th century, and it can be roughly divided into two schools: geometric abstraction and lyrical abstraction.

? Among them, the geometric abstraction school is represented by mondriaan. Some people like the gloomy geometric aesthetics in mondriaan's works, but others say that his paintings always have a sense of distance in others' eyes, and some even lack human touch.

? But the hero we are going to talk about today is not mondriaan, but Barnett Newman, another important artist of the abstract school.

When you first see Barnett Newman's work, you must think, "Isn't this just a line?" I can draw, too! But it is such a "line" that his work Light of Anna was sold privately by an unknown mysterious buyer in 20 13 for about1570,000 dollars. At present, this painting ranks 17 among the most expensive paintings in the world.

? Newman's oil painting Onement VI was bought by a mysterious buyer at Sotheby's in new york for $43.8 million. Newman's Onement VI, 20 14 May 13, another unknown mysterious buyer won Newman's oil painting Black Fire 1 at Christie's auction company in new york for $84.2 million.

That's it. Newman, who was originally unknown, suddenly had three works that broke into the ranks of the world's most expensive 65,438+000 paintings, causing a sensation around the world, and Newman became the new favorite of the international painting market in one fell swoop.

? You may be thinking, Newman's painting is only one or two lines, how can it sell for 100 million dollars?

For example, in his remarks, you might think that Newman can draw this line in just a few minutes. But everything is by no means that simple.
