Little Joe 1935

"Little Joe" is a 1935 lithograph by American artist Will Barnet, known for his expressive black and white works. The artwork depicts a young boy seated on a chair, his hands clasped in his lap. Barnet's use of bold lines and strong contrasts creates a sense of depth and emotion, while the subject's pensive gaze suggests a contemplative moment in childhood. This piece captures the essence of Barnet's signature style, which combines realism with stylized forms, and exemplifies his focus on depicting everyday life and human connection.
