Voice of Fire

"Voice of Fire" is a 1967 abstract acrylic on canvas by American artist Barnett Newman, exemplifying color field painting. The composition features three equal vertical stripes—blue on the outer edges and red in the center—creating a bold, minimalist visual impact. Newman aimed to evoke profound emotional responses through simple yet powerful forms, making the work a significant example of post-war Abstract expressionism. Originally commissioned for Expo 67, was loaned to the National Gallery of Canada in 1987, where it remains a prominent piece of modern art.
