Woman by the Sea 1973

"Woman by the Sea" is a 1973 woodcut print by Will Barnet depicting a woman standing on a porch overlooking the sea. The figure is rendered in stark black silhouette against a muted background of gray and brown. The simplicity of the composition, with its focus on the solitary figure and the vast expanse of water, evokes a sense of contemplation and solitude. Barnet's signature style, characterized by bold lines and flat planes, is evident in this work, which is both visually striking and emotionally resonant.
