Canvas fragment

Canvas fragment

1905 - 1970

Barnett Newman

American

Raw plain weave cotton duck canvas fragment with fold edges, one of which is oriented diagonally with respect to the canvas weave. The other intersects the diagonal turn edge at a sharp angle. This suggests that the canvas may have been cut from a triangular stretcher.
