Dark Image
By Will Barnet
Located in New York, NY
Dark Image, 1960 by Will Barnet (1911-2012)
Oil on canvas
53 x 30 ½ inches unframed (134.62 x 77.47 cm)
55 ½ x 32 ⅞ inches framed (140.979 x 96.2152 cm)
Signed and dated on top right on the reverse
Description:
This abstract oil painting by Will Barnet uses minute gradations in value to achieve a work that presents a contextual understanding of color. Upon first inspection, it looks as if Barnet has created a completely black canvas with some hints at forms in the darkness; however, upon a closer look, the canvas is, in fact, not black, but instead comprised of varied shades of dark, muted blues, grays, and purples. Barnet presents us with an illusion of vision, asking the viewer to question his perspective and understanding of color interplay.
At the beginning of his career, Will Barnet was known for his figural depictions of domestic scenes. But, as he continued to stylistically develop, Barnet arrived at abstract geometric paintings far removed from his original career. A part of the Indian Space...
