A Conversation on "Barnett Newman: Here"

Amy Newman, author of the newly released biography "Barnett Newman: Here," 2025, joins Michelle White, Senior Curator, for a conversation about the life and art of one of America’s most influential Abstract Expressionists. This discussion offers fresh insight into Newman’s creative evolution, his belief in art as a profound sense of place and in human dignity as its subject and how the author’s research brings to light the personal, philosophical, and cultural forces that shaped his monumental work.

This program takes place in the main building, located at 1533 Sul Ross Street.

As always, Menil programs are free and open to all.
