Additional details: This elegant composition by Will Barnet, titled Circe—also known as Silent Season with Crows—was created in 1979 and reflects the artist’s mature and highly recognizable style. While often associated stylistically with works from the Bicentennial period, this image represents Barnet’s continued exploration of quiet, contemplative figuration at the end of the decade. The composition is structured within a circular format, a device Barnet frequently employed to create a sense of timeless balance and introspection. A seated female figure, rendered in simplified, flowing forms, gently extends her hand toward a crow perched along a tree branch. A second bird rests below, reinforcing the sense of stillness and silent dialogue between figure and nature. Barnet’s restrained palette, precise line work, and careful orchestration of negative space evoke a meditative atmosphere. The presence of the crows—often associated with mystery, observation, and transition—adds a subtle symbolic layer, while the overall composition remains serene and introspective. Printed using traditional techniques of the pre-digital poster era, this work exemplifies the clarity and craftsmanship associated with fine printmaking of the period. A refined and highly collectible example of Barnet’s work from the late 1970s, appealing to collectors drawn to his distinctive blend of modernist abstraction and poetic figuration.
