Silent Seasons - Summer 1970

"Silent Seasons - Summer" (1970) by American artist Will Barnet (1911-) is a painting that depicts a young woman blowing bubbles in a domestic setting. The composition is characterized by its simplified forms and bold colors, typical of Barnet's style. The figure of the woman is rendered in a flat, almost geometric manner, while the background is a muted palette of pink and green. The painting's title suggests a connection to the seasons, and the image of the woman blowing bubbles evokes feelings of tranquility and childhood innocence. This painting exemplifies Barnet's distinctive artistic style, which is often characterized by its focus on simplicity, clarity, and the evocative power of visual form.
