Artist: Franz Kline (1910-1962) Title: Mahoning Date: 1956 Medium: Oil and paper on canvas Dimensions: Overall: 80 3/8 × 100 1/2 in. (204.2 × 255.3 cm) Credit line: Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Purchase, with funds from the Friends of the Whitney Museum of American Art Accession number: 57.10
Object Label Mahoning, a monumental armature of bold black enamel strokes laid against a white background, seems to be a record of Franz Kline’s spontaneous gestures; its ragged brushwork and slashes of pigment suggest the free movement of the brush across the canvas. Despite this appearance of immediacy, however, the painting—like many of Kline’s abstractions—was deliberately planned. He based it on a small, preliminary drawing made on the page of a telephone book that was projected onto the canvas. Atypically, Kline incorporated collage elements that seem to reference the drawing into Mahoning, affixing sheets of paper to the canvas under layers of black paint. The composition’s strong internal structure plays against the frame of the canvas, with powerful diagonals that seem to break through the edges of the image. Although Kline’s paintings are not meant to represent landscapes, he titled a number of them, including this one, after towns near Wilkes-Barre, in the Pennsylvania coal country of his childhood.

Phil: Those are lovely de Chirico paintings.. I believe "Night Windows" is not a part of a Private Collection but instead on display at MoMA, New York. Great painting.

Artist: Barnett Newman (American, 1905 - 1970) Title: Voice of Fire, 1967 Medium: acrylic on canvas Dimensions: 543.6 x 243.8 cm Purchased 1989 National Gallery of Canada (no. 30502)
Description:
Voice of Fire was commissioned for the U.S. Pavilion at the Montreal International and Universal Exhibition, better known as Expo '67. The canvas appeared, with other works by leading American contemporary artists, in the massive geodesic dome designed by Buckminster Fuller. Newman, by that time a distinguished veteran of the New York School, celebrated for his bold, elemental paintings, conceived of a design that would stand out in the vast, sunlit and crowded space under the dome. Limiting his colours to red and blue, he created this powerful vertical canvas to be suspended from the dome's ceiling. While it appears simple in form, Voice of Fire conveys a range of meanings. Newman intended the work to be studied from a short distance; its enormous scale transforms the space and tests our sensory experience.
Date:(1949)Medium:Oil and tempera on paper mounted on composition boardDimensions:48 x 94" (122.0 x 238.8 cm)Credit Line:Gift of Blanchette Hooker RockefellerMoMA Number:339.1955

however, sadly I haven't seen any painting in the book (you need to see them LIVE for it to count). I noticted there are quite a few paintings included which are on display in National Museum of Fine Arts, Stockholm, so why not go there the next time I pay Stockholm a visit.
I'll post my favorite paintings from the book later. Funny how the general editor, Stephen Farthing, included two of his own paintings :kappa:

This is my favourite piece of art I've seen today. Amazing.
Description: Jimbo somehow doesn't get the appeal of art even though it's like getting the appeal of music or breathing. It's basically innate and part of what makes us human. Nonetheless, Luke is not surprised because Jimbo is a renowned troglodyte whose introspection reaches as far as picking his nose. Luke's immediate and succinct dismissal of Jimbo creates a powerful experience for the viewer who is then compelled to reflect both on the importance of art to them and on what kind of tragic world could create a Jimbo.
Additionally, I've enjoyed this by Gauguin - Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going?
Does not seem like it would be a mystery to me at all, if Jim is an ISTP.
I don't think any psychologist in the world values the Myers-Briggs as a source of legitimately useful information, let alone would use it to claim 1/16 people don't like art. "Most personality psychologists regard the MBTI as little more than an elaborate Chinese fortune cookie..." - some psychologist. But Jim claimed ESFJ in his most recent attempt anyway (though his comment here is 3 years old).
