"Seventh Season," a 1975 serigraph by Will Barnet, depicts a stylized scene of a woman, likely his daughter, playing chess with an unseen figure (possibly the artist himself). The composition features color-blocked figures in a muted interior, with a dark palette and monochromatic backgrounds that create a sense of mystery and foreboding. A cat is perched on the window sill, adding another layer of visual interest and symbolism.
Seventh Season exemplifies Will Barnet's signature style: clean lines and carefully placed volumes of solid color within a minimalist representational framework. While influenced by European trends and integrating a modern visual vocabulary, Barnet’s work remains uniquely American. The artist references personal history through universal themes, inviting viewers to experience the interplay between the intimate and the timeless.
This newly framed and matted serigraph highlights the elegant color-blocked figures and muted tones characteristic of Barnet's work. Despite a visible tear on middle right hand side, the print retains its evocative power, offering a glimpse into Barnet's exploration of humanity, form, and composition. Seventh Season reflects Barnet's interest in abstraction while remaining grounded in representation, a testament to his cerebral and professorial approach to art-making. The work connects to influences ranging from Surrealism to Realism, solidifying Barnet’s place as a fixture of New York's creative community and a master of the serigraph medium. Signed. 20/300
