This vintage lithograph (offset) after the well listed U.S. artist Will Barnet (NY 1911-2012) depicts a woman in a blue robe with her black cat and a girl reclining on a pallet.The print is titled "Blue Robe". Titled and signed in the plate. The original print was created in 1971. This offset lithograph was printed in Japan in 1979. Other shops are pricing prints from the same series at $125 and up. Their prints are often matted and they give the dimensions of the mat to give the impression that the print is larger than 11.5"x16". Our prices are much fairer. So please don't be deceived!

Will Barnet (NY 1911-2012) decided early in his life to be an artist. As a boy growing up in Beverly, Massachusetts he spent hours sketching and poring over art books at the local library. The cellar in his family home became his first studio. After studying at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Barnet left for the Art Students League in New York in 1930 and concentrated on lithography. He taught and produced art in New York for more than sixty years, spending summers in Maine from the mid-1950s.

Barnet's works focus primarily on the human figure. The family, especially his own, has been an enduring subject for him. His images are not descriptions of individuals, but careful arrangements of forms that express moods and feelings. Barnet balances shapes to create strong, interlocking compositions, as is evident in his many prints.
