Thomas B. Complete and well referenced, the book is as complete as one would wish without ever being overbearing.
In 1951 Hess published his first book, Abstract Painting: Background and American Phase, the first substantial book to address the development of abstract art in America. Ironically enough, it was Hess' posthumous treatment of Barnett Newman (who the critic only appreciated late in the artist's life) that irked Rosenberg and created a philosophical divide between these two friends.

Artwork page for ‘Adam’, Barnett Newman, 1951, 1952 From the mid-1940s Newman had been preoccupied with the Jewish myths of Creation. The vertical strips in his paintings may relate to certain traditions that present God and man as a single beam of light. It would appear, as Thomas B.
