Silent Seasons - Spring 1971

"Silent Seasons - Spring" (1971) by Will Barnet depicts a young woman in a yellow sweater, leaning over a table with a record player. She is holding a flower to her nose, suggesting the arrival of spring. The woman's contemplative pose and the quiet scene create a sense of stillness and reflection, while the presence of the bird outside the window, a recurring motif in Barnet's work, adds a sense of nature and its connection to the human experience. The simple, yet evocative composition and palette, characteristic of Barnet's style, are hallmarks of his paintings.
