Meanwhile, in the life of Barnett Newman
The whole lifespring 1949
The Subjects of the Artist school closes
The Subjects of the Artist School fails financially and closes in the spring of 1949.
1950
First solo exhibition and crushing reviews
Stages his first solo exhibition, at the Betty Parsons Gallery, and it is met with devastating criticism. Other accounts date the debut to 1948; soon after his first exhibition, at the Artists’ Session at Studio 35, Newman remarks that artists are, to a certain extent, making the world in their own image.
1950–1958
An eight-year pause
After the harsh reception he takes an eight-year pause, devoting it to developing his mastery; the result is the retrospective of 1958.
