Cake Pan c. 1938

Richard Barnett's "Cake Pan" from c. 1938 is a watercolor painting that depicts a simple, yet detailed, representation of a cake pan. The artist, known for his still life works, captures the object's form and texture with masterful precision. The pan, rendered in shades of gray, sits against a plain off-white background, drawing the viewer's attention to its intricate details. This piece is a testament to Barnett's ability to elevate the ordinary to the level of fine art, challenging the viewer to consider the beauty of everyday objects.
