Co-founder of The Club\" with Baziotes, Motherwell and Rothko around 1948, Newman exhibited in the U.S and in Europe and had ten solo-shows during his career. Ignored by the public during many years, he first included calligraphy in his works and then thought that it was necessary to empty space in his works instead of filling it. From 1948, Newman developed his own style in painting large monochrome works with a zip band that were imbued with much symbolism. He once suggested that his Judaic roots had played an essential role in his approach to art. After becoming a major figure in American modern art, he was recognized as the link between abstract expressionism and the color-field and minimalist painters. However, Newman only met fame after a retrospective show in 1958. "
