In the online edition of MoMA’s ArtSpeaks program, a member of our staff shares personal impressions of an artwork in the galleries. Here, departing video producer Sean Yetter recalls his first day on the job—and the first time he fell under the spell of Barnett Newman’s painting Vir Heroicus Sublimis.

Explore our collection work by work as we release a new video each Friday. Watch the videos and then come visit the works in person at MoMA!
