Museums: National Gallery of Art #5

If you like abstract art (Greg loves Abstract Expressionism), then visiting National of Gallery of Art's East Building is a must.  

The National Gallery has a large collection abstract paintings by some of the very best American artists, including Jackson Pollock, Joan Mitchell, Janet Sobel and Barnett Newman.  Here is a sample from the collection.  Enjoy!

By Jackson Pollock



A recently added room in the East Building is dedicated to Barnett Newman's series of 15 abstract paintings titled The Stations of the Cross.    (The first and last are pictured below.)


Barnett Newman, First Station (1958)

Barnett Newman, Be II (1961/19640
Thanks for viewing with us some of the National Gallery's abstract art.
