A look at American art in the 1960s. Barnett Newman, a mustachioed man in a bowtie, talks with the man with very thick eyebrows about how to contruct a certain tall piece of art, as the cameraman circles them and the piece, occasionally ooming in. CU of Newman pulling down the front of a welding helmet. Medium shots of a sculpture being welded, with a focus on the arc flash. Medium shot of Newman being interviewed.
