年代：1968

风格：色域绘画

类型：抽象

介质：油画

收藏：泰特现代，伦敦，英国

《保龄球》早期的作品是比喻性的，但后来成为抽象派画家，这部作品介于这两个时期之间。正如标题提到伟大的抽象派画家巴内特·纽曼所暗示的，它可能被看作是一部关于抽象表现主义的幽默短剧。一个纽曼式的垂直条纹组成是由南美洲的一幅图案化地图入侵而改变的。保龄球出生在英国圭亚那（后来的圭亚那），这是他使用的几个图像之一。颜色也可以指他的种族，因为它们是拉斯塔法里教的颜色：红色代表那些为黑人社区而牺牲的人的血液，绿色代表植被，金色代表非洲的财富。

Title:Whos Afraid of Barney Newman

artist:Frank Bowling

Date:1968

Style:Color Field Painting

Genre:abstract

Media:oil

Location:Tate Modern, London, UK

Bowling’s early work was figurative, but he later became an abstract painter, and this work falls between the two periods. As the title’s reference to the great abstract painter Barnett Newman suggests, it might be seen as a humorous skit on Abstract Expressionism. A Newman-like composition of vertical stripes is altered by the intrusion of a stencilled map of South America. Bowling was born in British Guiana (later Guyana) and this was one of several images he used which referred to his home. The colouring may also refer to his ethnicity as they are the colours of Rastafariansim: red for the blood of those killed for the black community, green for the vegetation and gold for the wealth of Africa.
