“Aurora,” a silkscreen artwork created by Will Barnet in 1977 in the United States, represents the Pop Art movement. An exquisite example of genre painting, this piece measures 61 x 119.4 centimeters. The artwork depicts a serene indoor scene with a figure and a cat.
In the artwork, a woman is shown reclining against a beanbag, engrossed in a book while her long dark hair cascades over her mustard-colored coat. She appears to be in a contemplative and relaxed state, symbolizing a moment of quiet introspection. Adjacent to her, a black cat lays on a grey platform, adding to the tranquil ambiance. Bare tree branches in the muted background give a hint of the outdoors, despite the setting being interior, enhancing the peaceful and contemplative mood of the scene. The use of simplistic lines and a muted color palette complements the serene atmosphere created by the imagery.
