Description
Ernie Barnes (1938-2009) "The Bassist", Offset lithograph in colors on wove paper. Signed and Numbered 34 / 750. This highly sought-after, sold-out limited edition print by celebrated artist Ernie Barnes, captures the power, movement, and emotional intensity of live music through Barnes’ signature elongated, rhythmic figuration. The composition features a bassist deeply engaged with his instrument, rendered with dramatic lighting, fluid body language, and a strong sense of motion. Barnes’ distinctive visual style, known for its expressive anatomy, graceful exaggeration, and dynamic energy is beautifully represented in this work. The musician’s hands, posture, and absorbed expression convey both technical mastery and soulful performance. Custom frame.
