This richly illustrated catalog surveys his sustained fascination with the Abstract Expressionist master. Diao worked as an art handler in his 20s and installed Newman's \u003ci\u003eStations of the Cross\u003c\/i\u003e at the Guggenheim in 1966--a signal event that he credits with setting his own course as a painter. \u003ci\u003eOn Barnett Newman, 1991-2023\u003c\/i\u003e documents a cycle of paintings that tabulate the elder artist's career through lushly painted charts, lists and diagrams that filter geometric abstraction through the lens of tribute. An original essay by Jeffrey Weiss details the complex blend of reverence and wry humor for which Diao has become known, citing this series as emblematic of his \"foundational critical ambivalence regarding modernism--its role as a source of pleasure and skepticism in equal measure.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 105\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 10.7 x 11.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 13, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51763394838816,"sku":"9781941366707","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/0e081b7e233fd9ceadf987578ee03bdd.webp?v=1780234392","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/david-diao-on-barnett-newman-1991-2023-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
