“Seventh Season,” a silkscreen created by Will Barnet in 1975 in the United States, is an exemplar of the Pop Art movement and falls under the genre of genre painting. The artwork vividly captures a scene indoors, characterized by its minimalist aesthetic typical of Pop Art.
The artwork depicts a serene, contemplative moment. Central to the composition is a woman with long, dark hair, leaning on a table with her hands casually placed and her gaze fixed ahead. Across from her, a single hand initiates a move on a chessboard, introducing a subtle narrative of strategy and contemplation. In the background, a white cat reclines languidly on the window ledge, its relaxed posture contrasting the engaged figures in the foreground. The simplified color palette and clean lines lend a sense of calm and clarity to the scene, inviting viewers to ponder the quiet interactions and emotions captured in this intimate moment.
