Lot Essay

“By his bravura technique, his artistic finesse, his elongations and distortions, his disregard of the confinements of anatomy, his dismissal of classical spatial relationships, Barnes has transformed the everyday happenings of 20th century society into the fierce, elemental and forceful components of a new symbolism, at once barbarously powerful and exquisitely beautiful.” J. D’Arcy, “Preface,” in E. Barnes, From Pads to Palette, Waco, 1995, p. 5
