David Barnett
'Human Geography' original signed mixed media artwork

2006

About the Item

Originally drawn in 1964 while Barnett was still in high school, ‘Human Geography’ depicts an anthropomorphic figure assembled from the continents. Featuring the simultaneous points of view characteristic of Cubism and artists like Pablo Picasso, the figure is seen playing with the Earth on a yo-yo string. Unique to this print, Barnett has highlighted Ghana to mark his visit to the country in 2006. Considering both the composition's original context and Barnett's later embellishments, this piece spans over forty years and connects the artist's early passions with his current practices. Giclée print on watercolor paper after original 1964 ink drawing 10 x 8 inches, artwork 11.25 x 9.25 inches, frame Signed and dated lower right Framed to conservation standards using archival materials including 100 percent rag matting, UF5 Plexiglas to inhibit fading, and housed in a silver finish wood moulding.

In 1985 David moved his gallery from Wisconsin Avenue into the Old Button Mansion on State Street and has been active ever since.

Since its opening in 1966, The David Barnett Gallery has flourished to become Wisconsin's premier gallery and has the most diverse range of art available in any Wisconsin gallery, including works of art that represent more than 600 artists. The gallery also offers custom framing, art appraisals, installation services, consulting services and more.
