American contemporary artist, Will
Barnet is an acclaimed painter and
printmaker, who has also taught art at
the leading art schools in the U.S.
Trained at the Boston Museum of Fine
Arts School and the Art Students League
New York, he later taught art at such
leading American schools as Yale
University, Cornell University, and the
Art Students League.
A prolific graphic
artist, Barnet changed his style
significantly at different points in his
career. His earliest works were
influenced by expressionism; they were
followed by abstract works in the 1950s
and 1960s, and finally evolved into more
figurative works of silhouetted forms
set against geometrically designed
backgrounds.
His work has been
exhibited in prominent museums and
galleries in the United States and
Canada and is included in many
prestigious collections, including the
Metropolitan Museum of Art and the
Guggenheim Museum in New York and the
Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
