Barnett Newman, „Onement I”, 1948.

Chcielibyście tak malować, co, ignoranci? Pff! Wam kury szczać prowadzić, a nie sztukę robić.

This is characterized by areas of color separated by thin vertical lines, or „zips” as Newman called them. In the first works featuring zips, the color fields are variegated, but later the colors are pure and flat. Newman thought that he reached his fully distinct, signature style with the „Onement” series (from 1948). The zips define the spatial structure of the painting and simultaneously divide and unite the composition. According to art historian April Kingsley, the zip in Newman's paintings are 'flashing light of a nuclear explosion and the old testament pillar of fire', thus mixing the paradox of romantic sublime with the depiction of destruction and transcendence.
