Have you seen a Newman painting in person? The image of Voice of Fire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_of_Fire https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_of_Fire) on Wikipedia is completely unremarkable, but it's actually very impressive and powerful to see in person. One of my favourite pieces of visual art. A lot of people like to shit on abstract art and color fields as "a toddler could do it" but there is technical skill and artistry on display. Keith Haring's art is also very simple but powerful. Personally I don't get the same feeling from a shitty iPad drawing of a monkey with some photoshop layers swapped around.
