Will Barnet, Woman Reading

This 1970 original screenprint by National Medal of Arts recipient Will Barnet is a masterpiece of bold shapes, vivid color, classical composition and just the right amount of cool. And did we mention it's signed by the artist? We recently re-matted this piece and framed it in natural wood with UV-protectant plexiglass. This iconic work is a modern heirloom, sure to be loved by generations to come.

With a career spanning nearly nine decades, Will Barnet is best known for his elegantly stylized paintings and prints of women and children. His career began in the Graphic Arts Division of the WPA's Federal Art Project. Today, his work is featured in over 200 museum collections, including New York's MoMA and Guggenheim as well as the Vatican Museum in Rome and the British Museum in London. A professor at Cooper Union and Yale University, Barnet was a member of the National Academy of Design and the American Academy of Arts and Letters, as well as a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts in London. He was awarded the National Medal of Arts in 2011 by President Obama. He passed away at 101 in 2012.
