“Silent Seasons – Winter,” created by Will Barnet in 1968 in the United States, is a lithograph on paper that exemplifies Pop Art and the genre painting style.
The artwork depicts a tranquil domestic scene, where a woman, rendered with minimalist lines and muted colors characteristic of Barnet’s style, engages with a parrot perched on a tree outside the window. The composition evokes a sense of quiet introspection, with the woman and the bird seemingly absorbed in a moment of silent communication. The subdued winter palette and the austere lines of the interior contrast with the vibrant green of the parrot, subtly highlighting the bird against the calm, somber setting indoors. Barnet’s use of lithography lends a soft, textured quality to the piece, enhancing its atmospheric serenity.
