Will Barnet has been the recipient of numerous
awards including the first Artist's Lifetime
Achievement Award Medal given on the occasion of
the National Academy of Designs 175th
anniversary, the College Art Associations
Lifetime Achievement Award, the Philadelphia
Academy of Fine Arts Lippincott Prize, and the
American Academy and Institute of Arts and
Letters Childe Hassam Prize. He is an elected
member of the National Academy of Design, The
Century Association, and the American Academy of
Arts and Letters. Barnet has defined an artistic
career that, in the words of Robert Doty, has
always gone beyond the limitations of modern art
because his work affirms a faith in life. Barnet
was awarded the 2011 National Medal of Arts by
President Barack Obama. In 2012, France
conferred the insignia of Chevalier of the Order
of Arts and Letters on Will Barnet.

Will Barnet at 100 National Academy Museum
School Sept. 16 Dec. 31, 2011 In the first New
York retrospective of the artists work, Will
Barnet at 100 will explore the dialogue between
figuration and abstraction that has defined
Barnets remarkable 80-year career. A painter,
printmaker and teacher who has worked largely
outside the various schools of Modernism, Barnet
has made significant and unique contributions to
American art in the realms of both abstraction
and figuration. Will Barnet at 100 will feature
approximately 45 works from private and museum
collections, including the Smithsonian American
Art Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art,
the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, The
Montclair Art Museum, and the Neuberger Museum of
Art.
