Vir Heroicus Sublimus by Barnett Newman
Whenever I go the MoMA, I am the most interested in the minimalist pieces. I think it's because I like to pay attention to color choice, and also I usually prefer art to be as clean as possible. This piece was pretty cool to me because of how giant it was as well as even though it's 98% red, the thin strips of different color makes it more visually appealing. The strips are also very straight and clean. Although it is a simple piece, it seems to me that Barnett Newman still put a lot of though into color choice and composition as well as perfect execution. It also stands out from the other minimalist pieces that all are basically one solid color because lf its size.
