'Homage to Kandinsky: Before Spring' original signed mixed media watercolor
Located in Milwaukee, WI
David Barnett’s ‘Homage to Wassily Kandinsky after 1911 orig. Woodcut from the Klänge (Sounds) Series, title: Before Spring,’ is an original mixed media watercolor painting, signed by the artist in the lower right corner. Part of the artist’s ‘Famous Artist Series,’ Barnett stages a collaboration between himself and the Russian Abstract Expressionist Wassily Kandinsky by scanning the original woodblock print from Kandinsky's Klänge series and printing it as a giclée on watercolor paper. The composition sees a hatted figure with a staff as they journey through hills and canyons into the night; colors pass from the inside of the woodcut to the surrounding paper where they form a rotating cycle, perhaps indicative of the cycle of influence from Kandinsky to Barnett and back again.

'Reindeer' original signed watercolor painting, winter ice mountains reindeer
Located in Milwaukee, WI
'Reindeer' is an original watercolor painting, signed by the artist in the lower right corner. As the sun rises over a blue and green mountain range, a reindeer scans the snow-covered horizon of the tundra. Barnett's use of watercolor is minimalistic, allowing the untouched areas of the canvas to imitate snow and the reindeer's stark and branching antlers to mimic leafless trees during the winter months. When color does appear, it is used to depict the reflection of the sun's light off of a frozen river.

By Keith Haring
Located in NEW YORK, NY

Keith Haring executed this rare double drawing during his key breakout year of 1982 on behalf of the historic Japanese pop cultural publication: Popeye.
The work emanates from the personal collection of a Popeye magazine editor, with the final versions published in the January 10, 1983 edition of the magazine (to be provided to the buyer of this work). Corresponding to such, are a series of hand-written publishing instructions by Haring & a bold well-preserved signature dated November 1982 along the right folded margin(s).
This visually rich 1982 drawing is defined by Haring dancing figures, lizards, televisions, a three-eyed face - visual elements at the core of what would define Keith Haring’s style for years to come.
Further details as follows:
Medium: Felt-tip pen and ink on wove paper, 1982.
Dimensions: 14x17 inches.
Good overall vintage condition; contains two folded flaps outside drawings; softened vertical creases in flaps; minor signs of handling; minor edge wear at top; pale toning and scattered spotting with some scattered, small mild staining; adhesive/tape residue on the verso.
Signed, titled and dated: "82 Nov. 12" in felt-tip pen and ink, right edge recto, with notes in ball-point pen and ink, lower right recto. Handwritten instructions on the right are that of Keith Haring.
Provenance: Popeye magazine editor, Tokyo; gifted to a private collection, Tokyo; Swann Auction galleries, New York. Accompanied by a letter of provenance.
Literature/References:
Published in the January 10, 1983 edition of Popeye: issue number 142, pages 75 & 97, respectively (see last 3 listing images). *This publication is included with the drawing.
“Drawing is making a mark and cutting into space and just finding something that didn’t exist before. It’s pure creation in its simplest form.” — Keith Haring

'Desert Mountain Paths' original signed watercolor painting on notepad paper
Located in Milwaukee, WI
David Barnett's 'Desert Mountain Paths' is an exercise in using limited materials. Depicting the winding paths of Desert Mountain in Scottsdale, AZ, the composition simulates found art for Barnett's use of notepad paper from a local hotel as his canvas. Zig-zagging and curved lines suggest striations in the rocks and also the meandering path of hikers and other passersby. Barnett even incorporates the Desert Mountain logo at the top of the page into the composition as the summit resting on the edge of the horizon.

Drawings and Watercolor Paintings
Revitalize your interiors — introduce drawings and watercolor paintings to your home to evoke emotions, stir conversation and show off your personality and elevated taste.
Drawing is often considered one of the world’s oldest art forms, with historians pointing to cave art as evidence. In fact, a cave in South Africa, home to Stone Age–era artists, houses artwork that is believed to be around 73,000 years old. It has indeed been argued that cave walls were the canvases for early watercolorists as well as for landscape painters in general, who endeavor to depict and elevate natural scenery through their works of art.
The supplies and methods used by artists and illustrators to create drawings and paintings have evolved over the years, and so too have the intentions. Artists can use their drawing and painting talents to observe and capture a moment, to explore or communicate ideas and convey or evoke emotion. No matter if an artist is working in charcoal or in watercolor and has chosen to portray the marvels of the pure human form, to create realistic depictions of animals in their natural habitats or perhaps to forge a new path that references the long history of abstract visual art, adding a drawing or watercolor painting to your living room or dining room that speaks to you will in turn speak to your guests and conjure stimulating energy in your space.
When you introduce a new piece of art into a common area of your home — a figurative painting by Italian watercolorist Mino Maccari or a colorful still life, such as a detailed botanical work by Deborah Eddy — you’re bringing in textures that can add visual weight to your interior design. You’ll also be creating a much-needed focal point that can instantly guide an eye toward a designated space, particularly in a room that sees a lot of foot traffic.
When you’re shopping for new visual art, whether it’s for your apartment or weekend house, remember to choose something that resonates. It doesn’t always need to make you happy, but you should at least enjoy its energy.
