Artist Style: Will Barnet is known for his work that oscillates between representational and abstract forms, often incorporating stylized, clean lines and strong color palettes. 
Significance: Bannisters frequently appear in Barnet's figurative compositions as design elements defining passageways within domestic settings. In the work titled Bannister by Will Barnet, part of the Farnsworth exhibition At Home in New England, the placement of the upper hallway bannister in this portrait of a young woman indicates that she sits below or is walking upstairs. The bannister’s presence forms an alliance with the cat, equally silhouetted, both fixtures of the home. Bannisters appear in several of Barnet’s figurative compositions, as both design elements and symbolic devices found along passageways in and out of domestic settings. Barnet’s family members and pets incorporated into figure-ground relationships resulted in spatial ambiguity and graphically compelling works.
