Description: Barnett Newman: A Catalogue Raisonné
In its spatial and temporal senses, the prefix meta signifies “beyond”: situated after, past, above, underneath, or even behind something else.

A WORD must be said about ‘intention’, I suppose. I have declared an interest in addressing pictures partly by making inferences about their causes, this both because it is pleasurable and because a disposition towards causal inference seems to penetrate our thought and language too deeply to be excised, at least without doing oneself a quite disabling mischief.
