Answer with Explanation:

The second and third events in which a Newman picture/art was destroyed were conducted by the very person, at the very museum. March of 1986, Gerard Jan Van Bladeren stepped into the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and with the help of a box cutter, he tried to cut eight holes into Newman’s painting "Who’s Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue III".  Van Bladeren was a mentally-disturbed pessimist artist who refused to accept contemporary art.

The "Cathedra" painting was designed by Barnett Newman with oil painting in the year 1951.

  • Barnett Newman was an artistic who likes to start from scratch and paint as if painting never existed before.

  • The Cathedra painting evoked emotions and reactions in some people.

  • The painting was attacked by Gerard because he did not like the abstract art.

  • The name of the person who attacked the painting was "Gerard Jan Van Bladeren"
