Will Barnet The reader
Will Barnet has been the recipient of numerous awards including
the first Artist's Lifetime Achievement Award Medal given on the
occasion of the National Academy of Designs 175th anniversary, the
College Art Associations Lifetime Achievement Award, the
Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts Lippincott Prize, and the
American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters Childe Hassam
Prize. He is an elected member of the National Academy of Design,
The Century Association, and the American Academy of Arts and
Letters. Barnet has defined an artistic career that, in the words
of Robert Doty, has always gone beyond the limitations of modern
art because his work affirms a faith in life. Barnet was awarded
the 2011 National Medal of Arts by President Barack Obama. In 2012,
France conferred the insignia of Chevalier of the Order of Arts and
Letters on Will Barnet.

Will Barnet at 100National Academy Museum & School Sept. 16
Dec. 31, 2011 In the first New York retrospective of the artists
work, Will Barnet at 100 will explore the dialogue between
figuration and abstraction that has defined Barnets remarkable
80-year career. A painter, printmaker and teacher who has worked
largely outside the various schools of Modernism, Barnet has made
significant and unique contributions to American art in the realms
of both abstraction and figuration. Will Barnet at 100 will feature
approximately 45 works from private and museum collections,
including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Whitney Museum
of American Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, The
Montclair Art Museum, and the Neuberger Museum of Art.
