Matisse made the Chapel and Newman made his Stations in the National Gallery.
Newman's were not commissioned and tell a lot about the rest of Newman's work. The interval in life and space and the relation of a artist to this relation in the Stations of Christ, an established form.
Newman focuses on an outcry--Why has thou forsaken us. After his first heart attack and remembrance of the holocaust still fresh in the mind of a Jew.
Rothkos passion remains un named. The Rothko chapel has maybe been the largest idea Ive embraced through the years visiting many times.
Though I have visited the Waterlilies likewise in reverence and feel similar to both or Pollock or Vir Heroicus Sublimis at the Museum of Modern Art, my church so to speak.
