Barnet grew up in Beverly, Massachusetts, and as a child began spending hours sketching and reading art books at the local library. He studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and then moved to New York in 1930 to concentrate on lithography. He taught and produced art in New York for more than sixty years. From the 1950s on he would spend every summer producing art in Maine.

Barnet was an American artist known for his paintings, watercolors, drawings, and prints depicting primarily the human figure, his own family being an enduring subject in his work, often in casual scenes of daily life, but also in transcendent dreamlike worlds emphasizing shapes and careful arrangement of colors that express moods and feelings.

Print in very good condition; some smudges to framing and foginess to underside of glass; not examined out of frame.
