Barnett Newman (1905-1970), 2004, oil on canvas, 43×35 cm (© Milan Golob). American painter, born in New York. He was best known for his very large canvases, many from 6 to 9 feet high, painted from the 1940s onwards. These oftenconsistof a single strong colour, modified only by changes of direction in the brushstrokes, or bisection by one or more horizontal or vertical streaks.

People enter works in different ways, and there is no right or wrong way to do so. There is no single way to interpret art. It's all very personal.

This austere work by Jasper Johns doesn’t seem to invite much of a close read. But its cool surface belies a depth of feeling, which shows us all the power of artistic restraint.
