Will Barnet (1911-2012) was an American painter and printmaker whose prolific career transitioned from early Social Realism to a refined, modernist style blending abstraction and figuration. After studying in Boston and at the Art Students League in New York, where he became a beloved instructor, Barnet developed his signature aesthetic. His work often depicted quiet, contemplative scenes of women, children, and animals, rendered with clean lines and flat planes of color to convey timeless stillness. Deeply influenced by American folk art, Barnet's art achieved an iconic simplicity that resonated with emotional depth, securing his place in 20th-century American art.
