I prefer the bigger versions of this one; your opinion may vary.
For a bigger version click the pic or type Z. Then if you click the frame at top right you can see it on the full screen.
Barnett Newmans's vertical lines (aka zips, but I didn't want to say "Barnett Newman's zips") have been haunting me lately, so I have started an album for photos exploring (ahem) the function of the zip. Or something. Below is an earlier pic on the same theme.

20 Prince Arthur Ave, Toronto (1968, Uno Prii).
Uno Prii designed many apartment buildings in Toronto (and many elsewhere) in the 1960s, although other Toronto architects scorned them. His sin seems to have been that unlike them he didn't consider a big box with boxy balconies stuck to the outside the epitome of elegance. In a 1960s guide to Toronto architecture photos of his buildings are provided as comic relief, and his name is not given.
But he kept putting up cylindrical buildings, buildings with curves, and buildings with colour, and finally people are coming to respect his work.
The PiP at upper left shows a view of the lower floors of this building, where its curves are more evident.
And here's a link to several more photographs of his buildings, including a longer view of this one:
