1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Newman / HeideggerBy AndrewExcellent book. About to start rereading it this week. Also recently ordered Richard Shiffs Barnett Newman: Catalogue Raisonne for $100 on AbeBooks used. If you know what this book is; you should probably buy it. Not an easy read at all.
