About the Item

David Barnett's "Homage to Schomer Lichtner: The Merrymakers" is an original mixed media artwork, signed by the artist in the lower left. The artwork itself becomes a collaboration between Barnett and Schomer Lichtner given Barnett's appropriation and reinterpretation of Lichtner's original screenprint. The scene itself is a magical winter wonderland, with forest creatures abound among the snow-covered trees. Overall, this is a colorful and playful work that bridges past and present.
