About the Item
Will Barnet is one of America's best loved and known artists of the Post War era. He is highly distinctive for his figurative and narrative work and in some ways he is the Edgar Allan Poe of art. He beautifully drawn and delineated work exudes mystery and content. He did predatory works for his etchings, prints and paintings and this is a large scale and great subject one.
Here - Atalanta is a Greek heroine who decides she wants to ward off unwanted suitors. She sets a race and declares that she will marry the one that can outrun her. All fail with the exception of Hippomedes who, assisted by Aphrodite, drops 3 apples to distract her during the race.
In some ways Barnet drawings can be better than his paintings. The paintings are quite still and graphic whereas as we see here - the drawing is spontaneous and we feel the hand of the artist - working.
A striking and large work to have great impact in a room - contemporary but traditional.
The inside measurements - inside of mat are 48 x 36 inches.

- Craig (Richard's Friend - Sitting - Blue Jacket), Mixed media on grey parchmentBy Howard TangyeLocated in London, GBHoward Tangye (b.1948, Australia) has been an influential force in fashion for decades. Lecturing at London’s Central Saint Martins for 35 years, including 16 years as head of BA Womenswear. There, he tutored many contemporary greats, including John Galliano, Stella McCartney, Christopher Kane, Wes Gordon, Zac Posen and Hussein Chalayan. Examples of Tangye’s portraits are held in many important collections, both public and private, including the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), Harvard University and London’s National Portrait Gallery. Throughout his teaching career Tangye quietly developed a particularly idiosyncratic art practice. By employing a decisive line with bold applications of richly layered materials, Tangye explores the nuances of the human form in an effort to expose his subjects’ true essence and energy. — Howard Tangye Craig (Richard's Friend - Sitting - Blue Jacket), 2012 Mixed media on grey...Category
