Gouache on black paper, circa 1959. Signed, Will Barnet, lower right. 1003x650 mm; 39½x25½ inches.
Provenance: Estate of the artist.
In the late 1950s and early 1960s Will Barnet embarked on an experiment of oil paintings with varied shades of black. In this work on paper he has built forms in lighter tones on a black paper support, and it was most probably created in the same time period as the black oil paintings.
